bring back samples of the new introductions for our staff and customers
to view.
This is your oportunity to see the actual flowers of the new AARS
winners. These are varieties that have gone through a 2 year period of
evaluation by rose expertsd in rose gardens across the US.
Our show will be Saturday and Sunday September 18 and 19 all day.
This year the AARS winners include Elle a shell pink and Ivory
bicolor.. This has a strong spice fragrance. Elle came from the Meiland
Rose Company in France.
About Face is a grandiflora golden orange inside with a bronzy red
outside. As the best grandifloras are this is bushy growing and very
free flowering. About Face is fron Weeks Roses and Tom Carruth. Tom and
I have known each other since he first started working for Weeks about
20 years.
