The New Dawn Rose is blooming this week along with most of the other roses.

The species geranium continures to bloom this week and is definitely a workhorse as it blossoms most of the summer. The Deutzia shrub in the Arboretum is in full bloom and the Clematis jackmanii is just beginning. Penstemon and Echinachas in the Grow Native! garden are beginning to blossom and the  Missouri primrose is also making a full show at this time.
