  • Product Description

    Old fashioned, large 5" cupped, very fragrant blooms of rich shades of apricot at times touched with gold. 100 petals. The flowers are produced in good numbers throughout the season on a great plant with disease resistance. May also be grown as a climbing rose. Glossy green foliage. Outstanding. Continually blooming.

    • Courageous™

    Product Description

    Named to honor the courageous airmen of both the Royal Air Force and the U.S. Army Air Corps who served in WWII. Irresistibly rose/berry perfumed, many petaled old-fashioned style 4" blooms in deep rich red. Robert Harkness in his catalog gives it a fragrance rating of 9 out of 10. We feel that this continually blooming rose should find a place in every garden both for the quality of the plant and flowers as well as the symbolism of its name. May be grown as a shrub rose or climbing rose similar to 'Westerland'.

        Heritage™®


        Product Description

        A near perfect rose. Its classically shaped, old-fashioned rose blooms are a lovely, soft pink, which is perfect for this delicate, cup-shaped beauty. One of the most outstanding of the English Roses. Its medium sized 3 1/2" blooms (petals 30) are true perfection in form and fragrance, which has a strong heady fragrance with a touch of lemon. A vigorous, bushy plant with few thorns. Excellent repeat blooming characteristics. Performs well in partial shade and makes a great cut flower.

        • Benjamin Britten™
        • Product Description

          Strong salmon-pink that changes with age to a particularly strong shade of pure pink. Deeply cupped flowers gradually develop into an open, slightly cupped rosette. Medium height; vigorous, with dense semi-glossy foliage. Ideal for the border or may be grown in a large pot or container. The fragrance is intensely fruity, with aspects of wine and pear drops.
