Alec's Red
COred Cocker 1973 Medium
red blooms open from almost
black buds, very fragrant. A "good all-rounder" according to Peter
Beales. 45 petals. One of Tracy's favorites, though the leaves look
best with a regular spray program. 3 x 3 ft.

cluster at our front gate. 58 petals, 7.8 ARS garden rating. 10 x 6 ft.
Anne Morrow Lindberg Warriner
1993
Large high-centered
flowers of a light pink blend of yellow, cream and peach. Fragrant,
upright and vigorous, 4+ x 3 ft. 26

Morrow was the daughter of the
US ambassador to Mexico where the couple met on Lindberg's goodwill
tour after his transatlantic
flight in 1927.

Mauve blend
with a strong fragrance and disease
resistant leaves (so the official literature says, but we've not had
that experience so be prepared to deal with some fungus disease in some
way.). A gorgeous flower. I'm sure the real Babs
wouldn't have picked anything less to carry her name. 5 x 3 ft, Z7

Blue Moon TANnacht Tantau
1965 An improved Sterling
Silver? (SS seedling x seedling) Large strong flowers of silvery lilac.
More blue tones in the sun
according to Phillips and Rix. Very fragrant. One of the best of the
"blues". 40 petals, 6.1 ARS rating. 3+ x 2 ft.
Broadway
Perry 1985 Technically
a yellow
blend, but you can see
that the sun brings out more shades of reddish pink. It is shade
tolerant if you'd rather have more yellow than pink. Strong
spicy rose scent on a bush of average 4 ft. height.
A good cutting rose, as are most HTs. AARS 1986 Z5/6
Chicago
Peace 1962 A pink blend sport
of Peace. Slightly fragrant,

Double
Delight 1977
I haven't met a
person yet who doesn't comment on
this wonderful rose. Its intense citrus fragrance can be picked out of
a bouquet of many different fragrant
roses and the bush seems to always have a bud or flower on it. Here in
our temperate zone we usually
have a few on the Christmas table and it seems so appropriate in its
candycane colors of red/pink and
creamy white. It's the product of excellent parentage: Granada x Garden
Party, and has passed on good genes too: Mon
Cheri. 30-35 petals, 8.4 rating. 4 x 2

2004 PP#16572
Large flowers of orchid
pink petals with ruffled edges. Strong
damask fragrance
and clean foliage. Few thorns on long stems. Loves the
heat, but produces darker coloration in cooler weather. This rose
sounds like
the one for the person who wants "everything" in a rose. One of the cleanest roses lazy-gardener Janet grows (completely
pesticide-free, not even organic treatments). 4 x 3
ft.
Mint
Julep Christensen 1983
White with
pink and a green cast. Hard to find
anywhere despite Phillips and Rix comment that it's a fine rose.
One of our customers asked us to custom propagate her plant that all of

the ones running the waiting list...

A very
elegant large light

works well in a pot or in multiple

Tolerates poor soil. A classic worth
keeping current. 28 petals

even more so. 4 x 3 ft.

a vase. Many similarities to one of its parents:
Compassion. 30
petals, 7.6 rating. 3+ x 3 ft. Many awards in the UK and
New Zealand.
Peace

many awards it took up three lines in our printed variety list. Palest
yellow blend with deeper yellow
and pink. Large flowers and large glossy foliage. 43 petals, 8.2 ARS
rating. 4 x 3 ft.
Pope John Paul II
JACsegra 2008 - PPAF Pure white, very fragrant, disease
resistant. We saw this one in the J&P gardens in Medford,
Oregon, and it really IS as good as they say it is. It's a rare
thing to have a healthy, white and fragrant Hybrid Tea. 5 x 3 ft Z6
Princesse
de

fragrant flowers of excellent exhibition form. One quintessential
Hybrid Tea. Dark glossy foliage. 3+
x 2 ft.
Pristine JACpico Warriner 1978 Previous
owners of our home
planted this on the north side of the house. Once the sun moves over it
in late spring it's a vigorous
grower with disease resistant large foliage. Well-formed white/ivory
flowers
with pink trim. Being
fragrance-free is its only drawback, unless you have allergies! It's
one of those roses that looks great in
all stages of bloom and growth. Portland GM 1979, 28 petals, 8.6 ARS
garden
rating. 5 x 3 ft.

Floribunda/HT. Yellow blend,
very fragrant, 3+ x 2 ft, Z5? 20 petals 8.2 ARS garden rating.
Usually classed as a Floribunda but it often blooms one bloom to a stem
like a Hybrid Tea is supposed to.
Silver Jubilee Cocker
1978 Botanica calls this Cocker's greatest
masterpiece. Named to honor the 25th anniversary reign of Queen
Elizabeth II, the double blooms are silvery pink with darker
undersides. Excellent form, vigor, color, bloom productions,
etc. 4 x 3 ft,
Z6/7. 
Smoky Combe
1968 A double
flower opening somewhat muddled and flat. Incredible color which
I cannot state any better than Peter Beales, "smoky-deep-plum-red
ageing to burgundy, variably, sometimes paler"! First whiff gives
me thoughts of raspberries. We're bringing back this oldie that
should not be
forgotten. 3+ x 2 ft.
Solitaire McGredy
1987 Yellow
with pink edges, fragrant and disease resistant. Except for not
blooming indoors (or full shade) this rose satisfies even our most
demanding customers. Our local rose society is responsible for us
knowing about it. One couple had imported it from Europe many
years ago and saw how wonderful it was for our damp coastal
climate
(amazing, really) and then it fell out of commerce. They
regularly sweep most of the Hybrid Tea and arrangement classes at the
annual rose show as they keep at least 5 bushes of this variety in
production. Easily 97% of every flower in our climate has a
perfect pointed center (no guarantees for what it will do in
yours). Folks in Portland, OR (The Rose City), seem to know about
it too. Vigorous, even on its own roots, 5 x 3 ft.
Stainless Steel™ WEKblusi Carruth
1997 PP10188
This was bred to be the "everyday" version of Sterling Silver.
Easy care, easy to grow, not fussy, etc. Strong fragrance, long
strong stems, good form for show. Dark green leaves with silvery
lavender flowers which show best color in cooler temps. 4+ x 3 ft.
Sterling Silver Fisher
1957 Most
nurseries have dropped this lovely rose from
their offerings because it is disease-prone and not particularly
vigorous. Well, I have to have this first
of all purple Hybrid Teas in my garden and so we offer it for those who
see things our way (typically
we run a waiting list even after warning about the disease and vigor
problems). Strong citrus fragrance,
not too many thorns, medium green semi-glossy leaves. Upright 3 x 2 ft.
when it's doing its very best. A
bit hardier than your average HT. Does best in a dry climate. 30 petals.
Sunstruck™ WEKsunvoye Carruth
2006 Huge
round buds open to large flowers with good form in deep yellow
gold blushed and bordered with apricot orange. Flip the petals
over to be "struck" with the yellow fan pattern on the back.
Fragrant. Most intense in cooler temps. 4 x 3 ft.
Talisman Montgomery 1929 Very fragrant yellow
blend
flower with orange and
copper on light green foliage. Upright bush about 3.5 x 2.5 feet with
strong stems making it an excellent
cut flower. In the last few years this old HT has become extremely
popular
again and we consistently have
a VERY long waiting list. What a shock to finally realize that
its fragrance is that of one of our favorite wines, a sweet
Gewurztraminer. We'll even put a plug in for Navarro Vineyards'
non-alcoholic Gewurzt grape juice. It's also a dead-ringer.
Definitely a sweet rose fragrance good enough to drink!
