Oprah's 'The Legends Rose' Arriving Soon
Available Soon: The Legends Rose

We are grateful to our customers for the volume of roses purchased from Regan Nursery every year. To thank you for your loyalty, we are privileged to make Oprah Winfrey's newly named The Legends Rose available to you. In pre-release to a few selected nurseries, it will only become widely available in December this year.

According to Weeks Roses, "‘Legends’ has monstrous buds that open to humungous blossoms of rich ruby red." The blossoms are eight inches across and a petal covers
