Rogerson Clematis Garden
Clematis is a diverse genus, found on all of the major continents except Antarctica. They grow in a wide range of hardiness zones, and may be vines, herbaceous perennials, or subshrubs. The clematis are planted to inspire gardeners to try them in new ways. A portion of the garden has received a backyard habitat silver certification from the Audobon Society.
