About the Rogerson Clematis Collection

The clematis collection is administered by the Friends of the Rogerson Clematis Collection, a 501(c)3 organization. Their mission is to preserve and enhance the collection, in part by establishing it in permanent display gardens, and making the collection available for educational and research purposed. We hope that our display gardens, featuring clematis grown with many types of companion plants, will become a destination not just for clematis enthusiasts, but for gardeners of all tastes and skill levels.
