2701 1000 Wishes® Rewarding is one word that comes to mind in describing this rose. ‘1000 Wishes®’ is probably the easiest of roses we grow. Th is large billowing, carefree rose has delightfully large, single coral pink fl owers. You can plant as a stand-alone beauty or, for a bold application, as a founda- tion hedge. Either way, you will “wish” you had more. 5 to 5 feet Z5-11 R Fr H

2709 Delta Gamma A ft er meeting strict color and fragrance guidelines, this rose was selected and named by the national Delta Gamma sorority. Th is enchanting rose has large fl owers in blushed tones of cream, yellow and apricot that contain an exquisite fragrance. It bears clean foliage and produces excel- lent cut fl owers. 5 to 6 feet Z5-11 R Fr

2712 Pink Magnolia With outstanding vigor and pro- li fi c blooming power, ‘Pink Mag- nolia’ should be a focal point in any garden. Th is rose is the most hardy, clean and disease resistant rose that we have produced thus far. It can easily create a large, informal hedge when planted in mass. 5 to 6 feet Z4-11 R Fr

2707 Femme Fatale® Like a Medusa, this lovely rose will seduce all those who see her. Full, hot pink colored and heavy perfumed blooms are held high on an upright shrub. ‘Femme Fa- tale®’ begs to be cut and displayed in a proper vase. Th is rose has shown to be backspot and mildew resistant. 3 to 4 feet Z5-11 R Fr H

2713 Prairieville Prince Two surviving roses that were found in a neglected garden, ‘April Moon’ and ‘Tess of the Urbervilles’, were crossed and gave rise to this peachy apricot rose that contains a wonderful myrrh scent. Qualities like dis- ease resistance and cold hardiness will make this rose the “prince” of your garden. Plant where you can cut, smell and enjoy the roses. 5 X 5 feet Z5-11 R Fr

2728 Twilight Princess® Th is is the darkest purple rose we grow, but it does require a bit of extra care. However, it’s worth it, once you smell the exotic and powerfully fragrant blooms of citrus and clove. Spurred by the idea of “how dark can we go?”, this cross of ‘Midnight Blue’ and ‘Lavender Crush’ isn’t a disap- pointment. 2 X 2 feet Z6-11 R Fr 2710 Wicked Sister® A breakthrough in breeding, ‘Wicked Sister® is the devilishly more successful seedling of ‘Abra- ham Darby®.’ She possesses all of the old-garden charm with her quartered fl ower shape but has an iron clad constitution when it comes to disease resistance. Goodness knows, we love this ‘Wicked Sister®!’ 5 to 6 feet Z5-11 R Fr

2725 Ray Ponton Th is rose was named in honor of the Texas Rose Rustler and rose breeder, Ray Ponton. One inch, clustered, mauve fl owers smother the bush when it is in bloom. Given the diminutive size of this very fl oriferous rose, planting in mass along walkways or in containers would be ideal. 1 to 2 feet Z5-11 R Fr 2717 Vicomtesse Decaux Th e medium pink, very double shaped ‘Vicomtesse Decaux’ fl ow- ers have the old fashioned shape we all love. Th is rose is similar to those depicted in this 18th century painter’s artwork, for whom it was named. Keep this rose close for sni ffi ng purposes. Blackspot resistance is an added

2715 Southern Sweet Tea Th is true southern version of a Tea rose is a cross of the antique China rose, ‘Le Vesuve’ and the modern rose, ‘Soul Sister. ™ ’ Th is mix of classic charm and some southern hospitality resulted in a rose more fragrant than either of its parents, hardiness included. 4 X 4 feet Z6-11 R Fr

and appreciated bonus. 5 X 4 feet Z5-11 R Fr H
