Julia Child - AARS Winner

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just before our wonderful American icon left us, she selected this exceptional rose to bear her name. Julia loved the even butter gold color & the licorice candy fragrance. Yet it wasn't just the old-fashioned blooms that inspired the recipe. The perfectly rounded habit, super glossy leaves & great disease resistance finish off the dish. An awesome AARS award winner ? a right & proper honor for a dear friend.

Home Run™

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This flame-red offspring of the famous Knock Out kicks the competition up a notch when it comes to disease resistance. Home Run has a phenomenal fortitude against the dreaded black spot (like its father). But, unlike Dad, it is also completely resistant to powdery mildew & has a much higher level of tolerance to downy as well. Rounded, bushy, fast-to-flower and nearly always in color, it hits a grand slam in the landscape & scores lots of points in a pot, too.

You’re in the money…if you love spicy fragrance, loads of bloom & super-long elegant buds of gold polished with rosy pink.  The long-lasting sparkling yellow-orange tones of this award winner are rich & opulent enough to bring out the gold digger in any gardener.  But it doesn’t take a stash of expensive chemicals to keep this good lookin’ girl happy in the landscape.  The natural disease resistance & strong vigor do the deed.  Very dark green leaves & unusual red stems set off the many showy clusters of blossoms.  Hit pay dirt with Strike It Rich!
