Trees
Have you considered a nice 20’-40′ ornamental tree for your yard? Red Sunset, Sun Valley or Brandywine Maples have leafed out beautifully and are ready to provide pleasing lines and color to your landscape offering great fall color. Beautiful Ornamental Pear, Flowering Redbud, Newport Plum, European Mountain Ash, Ohio Buckeye, Serviceberry, Gingko biloba, Aspen clump or a columnar Oak will add interest to your landscape. For shade-providing trees consider a Sunburst Honeylocust or Golden Catalpa which are excellent Colorado landscape choices.
Roses
You know June is also the month for Roses. Our Creek Side Roses are budded, flowering and even the foliage is shining with freshness and good health. Many of your favorites in the large hybrid teas and floribundas are coming into flower right now. Not into big roses but like the idea of a small rose in a perennial bed or along the patio providing bright flowers all season long? Miniature roses are just right for you. They are blooming like crazy right now so you can see just how they are going to grow in your landscape, or even a container on the patio. Just keep them watered and fertilized! Plus, the ever popular red or pink double Knock Outs!
