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.

Barbra Streisand
Rosa Hybrid Tea

An avid rose lover, Barbra was very choosy when it came to picking a rose that would bear her name. It had to have large flowers with an attractive color. But most of all, it had to be fragrant! the Barbra Streisand rose certainly fulfills those desires. Just one big shapely blossom can nearly overpower you with strong sweet scent. The clean lavender colors show off strikingly against deep glossy green leaves. Her vigorous plant bears loads of long-stemmed beauties. Great for cutting or just for smellin

Chihuly ®
Rosa Floribunda

As the sun hits the opening petals, they blush from subtly-striped apricot yellow to dazzling orange & deep red... producing a remarkable display against the deep dark green leaves & mahogany-red growth. 17- 25 petals

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

Gentle Giant™
Rosa Hybrid Tea
BIG monstrous buds & blossoms of rich pink (not too gaudy nor too pale) have an inner glow of golden yellow. SUPER broad round petals lend a classical flower form, slowly spiraling open from pin-point centers to full plentiful pulchritude. LARGE luxurious leaves of unusual light green color dress the bushy plant, perfectly complimenting the radiant pink blooms. LONG stems are perfect for bouquets, but it won't take many of these big beauties to fill a vase.

Legends™
Rosa Hybrid Tea
MONSTROUS buds & HUMUNGOUS blossoms of rich ruby red hold their durable brilliance from beginning to end. IMMENSE petals (just one can cover a child's palm) lend a classical Hybrid Tea bud shape, slowly spiraling open to a ruffled WHOPPER of a show-stopper. LARGE lettuce-like leaves of an unusual reddened green color gracefully enrobe the long cutting stems  in perfect proportion to the flower. Who needs a bouquet??? It only takes one PRODIGIOUS posy to fill a vase.

Sometimes it takes a jewelers loop to fully examine the worth of a gemstone. But this jewel of a Hybrid Tea flower is soooo big, you won't need any help to see the impeccable beauty of its classic show form and pearly colors.

No picture can capture the sweet spicy scent or the full array of colors borne by this beauty. It's outta this world when it comes to the display of many blue hues--rich magenta spiked with yellow, deep wine sparked with cream, warm lavender spilling to nearly blue. All on just one gorgeous green plant! Free-flowering & super vigorous, she bears big clusters of old-fashioned-formed flowers. Very hardy.

Scentimental
Rosa Floribunda
You might think stripes are a new-fangled thing. But it is the old rose heritage that brings the genetic stripping to this spicy scented new-comer. Each petal is as unique as a snowflake--some more burgundy-splashed-white, some creamed-swirled-red-all on the same vigorous plant. The old-fashioned form & fragrance may remind you of its stingy blooming ancestors. Yet the nearly continuous number of blossoms lets you know there's modern kinfolk in there, too. Distinctive clean quilted foliage. ©Weeks Roses

Shockwave
Rosa Floribunda
There's no rose that's any yellower and no foliage that's any greener. The combo makes your eyes blink & your head spin in disbelief. Better yet, the flowers hold on to their searing yellow tones to the very end, dropping away from the well-behaved plant just in time to welcome the next round of bloom. Tidy enough to tuck into a landscape, lend an accent to a container or top a rose tree. Loads of bright, super-glossy apple green leaves mirror the blazing blossoms.
