Julia Child is a floribunda destined to be as
famous as her namesake. Personally chosen by the award-winning
chef herself, this rose combines old-fashioned style with
delicious fragrance rarely found in a free-flowering plant.
This rose has a rounded habit and excellent
disease resistance, raising the bar for any English-style rose.
Julia Child also features a sweet licorice perfume that exudes
from each fully-petaled flower, as well as a butter-gold color
that’s perfectly suited to any landscape. |

Rainbow Sorbet
(floribunda) |
|
|
Rainbow Sorbet is as cool and delicious as it
sounds. This multicolor floribunda harkens back to the popular
variety Playboy from which it is a descendant.
More rugged and winter hardy, Rainbow Sorbet shows
a resistance to black spot similar to many shrub roses on the
market. With a symphony of bright color uninterrupted throughout the
season, Rainbow Sorbet can be used either as a powerful accent or as
a bold border for those who like to make a statement in their
garden. |

Wild Blue Yonder offers a journey into uncharted
territory. This lavender blend is the first rose in this color range
to garner the AARS designation since 1984. Every large wavy petal
is a velvety warm wine-purple layered onto rich lavender, making
Wild Blue Yonder a unique rose to behold.
Each lovely blossom exudes the perfume of sweet
citrus and rose. A vigorous ‘shrubby’ bush, its abundant, deep-green
leaves provide the perfect accent to the extraordinarily novel
color.

Tahitian Sunset offers a little slice
of paradise. This brightly-hued hybrid tea features splendid
blossoms starting from high-centered orange-yellow buds that open
fully to a peachy apricot-pink with yellow highlights. The vigorous
plant produces 14-16 inch stems, and flowers with about 30 petals to
create blooms up to five inches in diameter. With its complex
color, delightful licorice fragrance, and semi-glossy foliage, this
perfectly formed rose makes a strong focal point in any garden. |
