Every Fall about this time we go down to the growing fields in Wasco and 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.
