An unbelievable opportunity! Today we are joined by ATP Plant Admins Calif_Sue and Zuzu, who will talk about roses.
Favorite Kordes roses in Calif_Sue's garden:
Rose (Rosa 'Aloha') a stunning climber with fat blooms in shades of apricot & pink. Zuzu and I can't stop taking pictures of it, as the entry shows!
Floribunda Rose (Rosa 'Cafe') a floribunda described as a russet tan. An unusual coloring in a rose with marvelous clusters of big blowsy blooms in tan and peach.
Rose (Rosa 'Caramella') aka Caramel Fairy Tale, a large shrub with huge full blooms of amber cream, peach and yellow.
Shrub Rose (Rosa 'Freisinger Morgenrote') aka Sunrise, a shrub that can be grown as a small climber, blooms are a wonderful blend of orange, peach, pink and yellow.
Rose (Rosa 'Gebrueder Grimm') aka Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale-my absolute hands-down favorite rose in my garden now. I have two of them! It's a vibrant orange-pink blend with a yellow reverse. I have commented on this rose several times in my ATP blog. Not only do the bright blooms glow in the garden, its deep green and shiny leaves remain healthy looking, and it repeats several times a year in these huge trusses of blooms. The repeats often are just as full and lush as the initial first flush of the year.
Shrub Rose (Rosa 'Pompon Flower Circus') A girly-girl feminine rose with very full cupped blooms in white and pale pink. They look like old-fashioned cabbage roses.
Rose (Rosa 'South Africa') a beautiful glowing rose in a rich golden amber color, but more often for me it's a gorgeous sherbet orange, what a stunning bright glow in the garden! The entire plant is also healthy with deep green leaves.
Rose (Rosa 'Westerland') a large shrub or climber with rich apricot-orange blend blooms. I have a deep purple clematis planted with it for a stunning combination!
Other favorites:
Rose (Rosa 'Penelope') a large hybrid musk shrub with pale peachy-white blooms.
Rose (Rosa 'Sally Holmes') a beautiful large shrub with single blooms in large clusters of white with pink shading and pretty pointed apricot buds. One branch is a whole bouquet for the house!
Rose (Rosa 'Sea Foam') a great carefree shrub that grows about 5 ft tall for us and has a spreading habit with sprawling canes and pretty little white blooms.
