We are very excited about this new rose! It is always in
bloom all season long. And its blossoms are just beautiful
-- the color is a blend of pinks with apricot yellow in the
center. The flower form is semidouble with slightly wavy petals.
The foliage is very healthy, making this rose easy to grow.
It has a dense, spreading and slightly mounding form. This
rose blends well with other perennials, shrubs and roses and
is great in mass plantings. It has vigorous growth and the
canes are winter hardy to the snowline in northern Zone 4.
This rose has been tested across the country and is proving
to be one of the best new landscape roses. Here are some test
results:
- Chicago Botanical Gardens: Best performer, continuous
bloom, good health and habit.
- Cornell University: You have a winner with this one. Excellent
potential for a landscape shrub rose.
- Spring Grove Arboretum, Ohio: Best recurrent bloom. One
of our favorites.
- Jefferies Nursery, Manitoba: Over 50 flowers on one plant.
Show stopper. Excellent rebloom.
So, you can see from the comments above that this new rose
is outstanding and grows and blooms well in a variety of conditions.
This new rose is part of the Easy Elegance series, and comes
with a 2-year guarantee from the plant breeder, Bailey Nurseries.

What's a "bareroot" plant?
 "Bareroot"
is a term that describes how a plant is shipped to you. A
bareroot plant is not in a pot, and is usually dormant (not
actively growing). See the photo to the right that shows what
a bareroot rose looks like. The bareroot plants that we ship
to you were harvested in the fall and placed in cold storage
over the winter to keep them dormant. In the spring, we ship
the bareroot plants to our customers, from early April through
mid May.
Bareroot plants are easy to grow. We include planting instructions
with your order. When you receive your plant, take it out
of the packing material and place it in a bucket of water
so that the roots are completely covered. Let the roots soak
for 4 to 24 hours, then plant it in your garden. Full planting
instructions with photos are available on our planting
roses page.
