Love
Grandiflora. Scarlet Red with white revers.
The Lovei has one side that is fiery hot red an another side that is cool clear white. You will love this flower for its two-toned buds, shapely blooms and super-productive plant clothed with very dark grgeen resistant foliage. Fragrance: Slight rose.
Strike It Rich
Grandiflora. Deep golden yellow spun with orange-pink
You’re in the money…if you love spicy fragrance, loads of bloom & super-long elegant buds of gold polished with rosy pink. The long-lasting sparkling yellow-orange tones of this award winner are rich & opulent enough to bring out the gold digger in any gardener. But it doesn’t take a stash of expensive chemicals to keep this good lookin’ girl happy in the landscape. The natural disease resistance & strong vigor do the deed. Very dark green leaves & unusual red stems set off the many showy clusters of blossoms. Fragrance: Strong sweet spice & fruit
FLORABUNDAS 2008
Chihuly
Floribunda. Mix colors.
In naming a rose to honor America's famous glass artist, Dale Chihuly, it had to have impeccable style & an ever-changing array of flashy colors. This rose has it all! As the sun hits the opening petals, they blush from subtly-striped apricot yellow to dazzling orange & deep red... producing a remarkable display against the deep dark green leaves & mahogany-red growth. Large flowers in cool conditions. Fragrance: Mild Tea
Ebb Tide
Floribunda. Dark purple.
Soooo mysterious in its color…and soooo powerfully perfumed…it's certain to attract attention. Dusky deep purple buds swirl open to very double old-fashioned flowers of velvet plum washed with a haze of sultry smoke. The intense clove fragrance can nearly bowl you over. But keep your balance or you'll find yourself face down amongst the deep green leaves. Gets all the better with establishment in the garden. Fragrance: Strong spicy clove
Mardi Gras
Floribunda. Yellow, orange and pink.
Pointed red buds & well-formed flowers turn up in colorful clusters on this vigorous upright show-off. Fark red new shoots & abundant deep green leaves complete her perfect party dress. Consistent performer in all climates. Fragrance: Mild peppery
Scentimental
Floribunda. Burgundy-red swirled with creamy white.
You might think stripes are a new-fangled thing. But it is the old rose heritage that brings the genetic stripping to this spicy scented new-comer. Each petal is as unique as a snowflake--some more burgundy-splashed-white, some creamed-swirled-red-all on the same vigorous plant. The old-fashioned form & fragrance may remind you of its stingy blooming ancestors. Yet the nearly continuous number of blossoms lets you know there's modern kinfolk in there, too. Distinctive clean quilted foliage. Best color & size in moderate temps. Perfect for potpourri. Fragrance: Strong sweet spice
HYBRID TEAS 2008
Bing Crosby
Hybrid Tea. Dark clear orange.
A vigorous stout-growing-rose whose glossy dark green leaves and long-lasting brilliantly-tinted blooms croon a sweet tune in the garden. Long cutting stems make Bing a 'star' in any bouquet. Better performece in the late summer/fall bloom cycle. Fragrance: Light spice
Century Two
Hybrid Tea. Deep pink.
A super-vigorous and flowerful plant that seems to constantly bear large voluptous exhibition-shaped blossoms. The hot pink tones shine through from the big pointed bud stage to the finish of each lovely flower. A proven performer for every garden. Fragrance: moderate rose
Chrysler Imperial
Hybrid Tea. Velvety dark red.
A landmark rose that still hypnotizes people with a powerful rich rose fragrance and velvety red petals. The large full shapely flowers are proudly held atop straight stems clothed with dark matte-green leaves. Vigorous and at its happiness in hot temperatures. Fragrance: Strong damask rose
Double Delight
Hybrid Tea. Blushing red.
The most popular new variety of the last 30 years. Double Delight fulfills the two highest demands of a rose - an eye-cathing color combo and fantastic nose-pleasing fragrance. Deep green leaves. Fragrance: Strong spicy rose
Falling In Love
Hybrid Tea. Warm pink with a cream reverse
Whether you’re experiencing it ‘again’ or for the ‘first time’, Falling in Love (the rose) makes your heart pitter-patter with its big classically-formed fragrant flowers of warm pink & porcelain white. Each long-lived lovely blossom is regally carried atop sturdy stems, just waiting to be cut & enjoyed…or maybe just admired in the garden on the bushy attractive plant. Destined to garner its share of awards, we’re certain you’ll swoon over Falling in Love. Loads of bloom. Larger size in cooler conditions. Fragrance: Strong rose & fruit
Mister Lincoln
Hybrid Tea. Velvety deep red.
An American classic in red roses. The large pointed buds and rich red blooms have a velvety quality that you must feel to believe. The powerful damask rose fragrance seduces even the hardest heart. Vigorous, tall and proud with long stems. Does very well in our area. Fragrance: Strong damask rose
Remember Me
Hybrid Tea. Yellow/red/orange.
Not a rose you'll soon forget! An unusual rich warm tan that blushes to deep orange. The fragrance...a sweet combinationn of fruit and spice. Fragrance: Moderate fruit and spice
Rosie Odonnell
Hybrid Tea. Pure red with yellow reverse
Showy colors... velvet scarlet with distinct ivory yellow reverse. But the babel won't stop just there because her big shapely buds and large sassy blossoms can also create quite a clamor. The long cutting stems and deep green leaves will complete the commotion in the vase or in the garden. Fragrance: Mild
Saint Patrick
Hybrid Tea. Yellow-gold shaded green
Some like it hot…and this is one! The luck of the Irish may have finally brought a super slow-opening yellow rose that likes the heat. This saintly yellow can pick up a touch of gold in cool weather, but he’ll be wearin’ the green when the temps turn up. Loads of novel chartreuse-shaded buds spiral open to yellow-gold flowers of amazing stamina. Grey-green foliage completes the picture. Heat brings out the novel color and best form. Slow-opening. Fragrance: Slight
CLIMBER 2008
Josephs Coat
Climber. Multi-color Yellow & Peach Blushing Pinky Red
Yes, we’re making a verbal pun on the beloved Joseph’s Coat, one of the most popular of all Climbers. Pun aside, for many years we’ve sought to capture the same great colors on a much improved plant. The blushing yellows, pinks & reds of Jacob’s Robe aren’t an exact match. But the multi-color effect is even more dramatic. It’s equally floriferous, re-blooming readily in the very first year. But the plant shows off the big difference – more natural vigor, lusher glossy deep green leaves, better disease resistance & more hardinesst. Fragrance: Moderate spice
