Niche Roses Th is is a connoisseur’s list of roses with an assortment of interest- ing uses. Th ese roses will make a wonderfully interesting addition to your garden and shouldn’t be overlooked.

116 Mermaid Th is vigorous climber has vicious thorns that are like cats claws. Th is makes it a good bur- glar rose and one for fence lines to keep animals in or out. Th e large “fried egg” colored blooms attract bees readily. 15 to 20 feet Z8-11

1011 Petite Pink Scotch We love its unusual look. Leaves are tiny and set very close together much like a boxwood or yaupon. Dime sized spring blooms are the only clue that it is a rose. 3 to 4 feet Z5-11

1031 Peggy Martin An unbelievably vigorous and easy to grow rose. Blooms proli fi cally in the spring with intermit- tent blooms in the fall. Named a ft er a survivor of Hurricane Katrina. 12 to 30 feet Z5-11

1625 Doreen’s Centennial A perfect rose for a large pot where she can fea- ture her best asset, literally cascading over the edges like a perfect umbrella. Incredible bloom power with seldom a time when she is not in bloom. 4x4 feet Z5-11

146 Repeat Blooming Swamp Blooming in the spring and again in the fall, is an uncharacteristic trait for this wild rose. Th e large, graceful and thornless shrub is shade tol- erant and will grow in wet areas unlike most roses. 4 to 5 feet Z5-11

806 Paul Neyron Of the roses we o ff er, this rose has the largest fl owers. Th e fragrant, quartered fl owers can measure 5 inches across and are o ft en mistaken for peonies. Plants are thornless and very up- right. 4 to 6 feet Z5-11

2101 Martha Gonzales Th is small shrub rose with bright red fl owers, that seems to bloom all times during the grow- ing season, has unusual red/bronze foliage. Great container rose. 2 to 3 feet Z7-11

927 Red Cascade Listed as a climber, this classic carpet rose has canes so pliable that they can lay right on top of the ground creating a 10x10 foot spread. Nick- el-size blooms will appear spring through fall. 12 to 18 feet Z5-11

201 Green Rose A large shrub with green fl owers that are a great conversation piece. Roses are best used in fl ower arrangements where they stand out in contrast to the other fl owers. Spicy pepper fragrance. 3 to 5 feet Z6-11
