AARS WINNERS (All-American Rose Selections)
|
Rainbow Knockout
2007 AARS Winner |
Rainbow Knockout , 2007 AARS Winner
Even more floriferous and disease-resistant than its famous parent, Rainbow Knock Out is a bushy and compact landscape shrub rose with short stems bearing glossy, dark green leaves. Its blooms are single-form flowers that start out as pointed buds and appear abundantly throughout the growing season. The delicate five-petaled flowers are two inches in diameter and are a deep coral-pink color with a yellow center finishing nicely to light coral.
Rainbow Knock Out will have a nice display of blooms late into the season for a lovely fall bloom, and while it does not exhibit a strong fragrance, the petals emit a delicate sweetbriar scent. Suitable for container growing in small spaces, this rose is the prefect accent to any garden. It is also winter hardy to zone 4 and is fully resistant to black spot, mildew and rust.
Hybridized by William Radler and is introduced by The Conard Pyle Co. of West Grove, Penn.

 Strike It Rich
2007 AARS Winner
|
Strick It Rich , 2007
AARS Winner
A modern version of the classic 1950 AARS award-winner Sutter's Gold, Strike It Rich esembles its famous ancestor with stron spicy fragrance and elegant buds of deep golden-yellow swirled with ruby red. Yet this contemporary cousin is much easier to grow because of its great disease-resistance and strong natural vigor. This true grandiflora bears loads of long-stemmed blossoms offset by very dark green leaves and unusual deep red stems.
A medium-tall upright bush, Strike It Rich boasts clustes of voluptuous double and informal flowers that are up to 5-inches in diameter with approximately 30 petals each. The flowers are long-lived and retain their blend of gold, orange and red tones to the very end. The blooms are stunning in a bouquet or in the landscape.
Hybridized by Tom Carruth and introduced by Weeks Roses of Upland, CA.

 Moondance
2007 AARS Winner
|
Moondance , 2007 AARS Winner
As ethereal and lovely as its name implies, Moondance is a floribunda characterized by large trusses of creamy white, beautifully formed flowers contrasted by very glossy dark green foliage. Upright and well branched, it is an extremely vigorous and tall plant with stems that are typically 14-18 inches long. Rose buds are pointed and oval-shaped in form leading to high-centered flowers, which open flat to about 3½ -inches in diameter and consist of approximately 25 petals each.
Moondance has an exceptionally delightful spicy fragrance for a white floribunda. In addition, its impressive long stems can also be arranged into an elegant bouquet for displaying in the home. Moondance is highly resistant to black spot, mildew and rust.
Hybridized by Keith Zary and introduced by Jackson & Perkins of Medford, Ore. |
