Common name:English Boxwood
Botanical name:Buxus sempervirens

This group of boxwood is comprised of many cultivars that vary in size and somewhat in form. Those most commonly available here in clude 'Grahm Blandy' (columnar to 8 feet), 'Suffruticosa' (rounded form to 3 feet), and 'Inglis' (pyramidal to 7 feet). All are evergreen, with medium to dark green foliage and are generally very cold hardy.

Common name:Golden Garden Sage
Botanical name:Salvia officinalis 'Icterina'

This garden sage has the same aromatic quality, with the bonus of luminescent green leaves with wide golden margin. Grows smaller than the species, reaching 1 to 2 feet tall and wide. Not as flowerful as the species, but the foliage is showy.

Common name:Hybrid Tea Rose
Botanical name:Rosa x ssp.

Hybrid tea is an informal horticultural classification for a group of roses that were created by cross-breeding two types of roses, hybrid perpetuals and tea roses. It is the oldest group classified as a modern garden rose. Later hybrids were created by crossing other rose species. They typically have large, well formed single flowers on long stems. Hybridizing has introduced a wealth of colors, blends, and combinations, but frequently at the expense of over-all robustness, foliage appearance, and fragrance.
