Hamilton Court and Palace


My sister and I got a chance to visit Hamilton Court in England, it was amazing. This is my favorate type of garden. I loved the roses they were at their peak when we were there. They used a lot of the David Austin English roses in the garden It was interesting to see how different they grow in the cool clement of England verses the harsh Utah clement. For example Golden Celebration in Utah grows to be a 6 foot rose where as there they used Golden Celebration as the small roses at the from of the garden bed. I love, love box wood and ever greens. What a delight for the eyes. I immediately remember seeing this garden in several movies
