“Tyler Rose Garden”
JERRI PENNEY • WYLIE, TEXAS
“Th is soft analogous rose color palette
on a backdrop of complementary
blue is inspired by growing up in
Tyler, Texas. Tyler is known as the
‘Rose Capital of America,’ with 14
acres of over 38,000 rose bushes
in over 500 varieties. Th e rose
industry is celebrated every year
with an annual three-day Texas Rose
Festival, featuring a parade of rose-
adorned fl oats and the coronation
of a Rose Queen. She wears a gown
that features a 16' train lavishly
embellished with hundreds of
thousands of hand-sewn jewels to fi t
each year’s theme. Th e celebrated rose
garden and festival have been a color
inspiration throughout the years.”“My Summer
Garden”

“My favorite palette
is my garden. I always
have a mix of annuals
and perennials to keep
the color coming but
it is most beautiful in
mid-summer when the
roses, cone fl owers,
salvia, and daylilies are
in bloom!”
