About Face™
Rosa Grandiflora
A topsy-turvy attention-getter, this bi-color medal-grabber makes your eyeballs salute 'cause the two colors are outside-in. Or is it inside-out? The lighter lasting golden-orange color is on the inside with a distinct darker bronzy-red outside. Yet it's not just the flying colors that will cause a flap. It's a turning point as a plant, too, with superb vigor, lush clean green leaves and loads of bloom.

Cinco de Mayo™
Rosa Floribunda
This seedling of Julia Child puts a whole new spin on 'flower power'. The clusters of blooms never stop poppin' open on this powerfully flowerful Floribunda. Mysteriously colored & deliriously novel, it's an indescribable blending of smoked lavender & rusty red-orange. Yet it's perfectly blendable with any color in the garden, whether it's atop a rose tree, planted in mass or nestled amongst your favorite perennials. The super-clean glossy-green foliage mirrors the flowers, adding even more pizazz to this bushy rounded flower factory. 25 petals

St. Patrick®
Rosa Hybrid Tea
Some like it hot…and this is one! The luck of the Irish may have finally brought a super slow-opening yellow rose that likes the heat. This saintly yellow can pick up a touch of gold in cool weather, but he'll be wearin' the green when the temps turn up. Loads of novel chartreuse-shaded buds spiral open to yellow-gold flowers of amazing stamina. Grey-green foliage completes the picture.
