Easy to Grow Roses

"Sunset Celebration"

- A great all-round rose that is healthy and full of vitality, this long-stemmed hybrid tea rose was named for the famous West Coast lifestyle magazine Sunset. It changes color with the weather, ranging from amber orange (when cool) to apricot brushed with cream or warm peach (when warm). It boasts large, beautiful blooms and is moderately fragrant.

"Iceberg"

- A classic, this 40-year-old hybrid remains one of the world's most popular roses. A floribunda type (which means it blooms in clusters), it produces large snowy white flowers in abundance on a vigorous, healthy garden bush.

"St. Patrick"

- A yellow rose with good vigor, it has beautiful blooms on a healthy plant sporting gray green foliage. The impressive high-centered flowers are golden yellow with a greenish tint in warmer weather.

"Flower Carpet™ White"

- White is a tough color for any rose in terms of garden performance. What makes this rose remarkable is that it is one of the very best shrub roses available of any color. It is a compact, prolific bloomer, similar in habit to its easy-to-grow sisters: Flower Carpet™ Pink, Flower Carpet™ Apple Blossom, and Flower Carpet™ Red.

"Audrey Hepburn"

- An earlier hybrid of California breeder Jerry Twomey, this lovely rose is not as easy to come by as it should be. It is a delicate and refined light pink hybrid tea with a good scent and great growth habits.

"Dainty Bess"

- A floribunda, this light pink cultivar lacks the classic double-flowered blooms of the hybrid tea that it is, but charms nonetheless with a beautiful five-petal single bloom. The effect is elegant, sophisticated, and stylish. A classy flower from a different era, it was introduced in 1923. This rose, with a clove-like scent, is an excellent addition to the perennial bed.

"Fourth of July"

- A climbing rose, it boasts clusters of large red and white striped flowers. It has a sweet fragrance and good repeat-flowering characteristics to provide blooms all summer.

"Bonica"

- This French-bred shrub rose produces masses of light pink blooms all summer long. Not very fragrant, it makes an excellent, colorful hedge or border planting.

"Sexy Rexy"

- Here's a name you won't forget, and the flowers are memorable too. It's a great growing rose with massive heads of light pink.
