Dream Come True is a stunning
sight of catchy colors, which lures the likes of even non-rose
lovers to its side. This rose produces flawlessly formed yellow
blossoms, blushed with ruby-red at the tips, all set amongst
abundant matte green foliage. The big, bushy vigorous plant
yields long-stemmed, long-lived blooms with mild tea fragrance,
making it lovely in the landscape and a great choice for
bouquets.
Dream Come True was hybridized
by Dr. John Pottschmidt of
Cincinnati,
Ohio – only the 3rd
amateur hybridizer to win the AARS Award in 67 years – and
introduced by Weeks Roses of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. |

With flamboyant blooms in a novel blend of pink,
orange, and yellow, and a delightful peppery scent, Mardi Gras
creates a festive atmosphere in any setting. Each high-centered
hybrid tea style bloom begins as an apricot-orange bud that slowly
spirals open to reveal a 4-inch bright pink and orange bloom with a
yellow base. As an All-America Rose Selections (AARS) winner, this
festive floribunda has proven to perform exceptionally well across
the country with little-to-no care. The colorful blooms are
perfectly framed with dark green, semi-glossy foliage, and its
upright columnar habit makes Mardi Gras an ideal rose to use as a
hedge or in a border with mixed perennials. |
