Summer Starts in the Rose Garden

The roses are budded - the first blooms are starting to open - a true sign that summer is ready to start! Here at Sky, it’s not too late to add the beauty of roses to your landscape. But out of this year’s nearly 4000 roses, some varieties are already sold out, so don’t wait too long to come get that rose you’ve been wanting for years!

Our selection of David Austin Roses is superb, and on Saturday, June 9th, Luke Stimson from jolly old England will be here to present an all-day seminar on the David Austin Roses. He promises to help put the right rose in the right spot, and to share some David Austin history and insights that I am sure we can dazzle our friends with later. So make sure you have Saturday, June 9th marked on your calendar. Tell the kids and family that they have to fend for themselves: you have a date with an Englishman!
