About
Face™ (WEKosupalz - Carruth 2005 PPAF)
Grandiflora. Unique light orange
with darker bronze reverse. Fragrance of apples. 5 x
3 ft.
All Ablaze™
(WEKsamsou) (Carruth 2000 PP13107)
A Large-flowered Climber. Hardy vigorous and clean. Slight
spice fragrance. Don
Juan is the seed
parent. Not consistent in tropical climates, but does well in all
others. 8-12 ft, Z5
Barbra Streisand
(WEKquaneze - Carruth
2001
PP#13120) Hybrid Tea. 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
Be-Bop™
(WEKsacsoul) (Carruth 2004 PPAF) Shrub.
Single
cerise red with
bright yellow eye flowers in clusters on a medium sized and somewhat
spreading bush. Glossy leaves leads to good disease resistance.
4+ x 5 ft
Betty Boop™
(WEKplapic - Carruth 1999
PP#11517) Floribunda. Yellow ivory edged
in red. A real "eye-catching" shrub, get it? The Weeks
catalog reads, "The beloved American animated character has been
honored with a rose that matches her for spunk, sparkle, style and
stamina...the colors are so catchy and the abundant blooms repeat so
quickly...without deadheading or shaping." Fragrant too! 3+ x 3
ft.
Brilliant Pink
Iceberg PRObril PP12645 Floribunda, pink blend, disease
resistant,
Weatherly 1995, sport of Pink Iceberg. It's just impossible to go
wrong with any of the "Iceberg Family" so we've added one more! 4 x 3
ft Z6 ***
Burgundy
Iceberg™ (PROsez - Weatherly 2003 PPAF) Floribunda, dark
red/mauve/burgundy,
fragrant, disease
resistant, nearly thornless with burgundy stamens! 4 x 3 ft, Z6 ***
Candy
Land
WEKrosopela PPAF
Large-flowered Climber with a very unusual pink and cream striping. Fragrant too! Carruth 2006 12+ ft Z5
Chihuly®
(WEKscemala - Carruth 2004 PPAF) Floribunda.
Red/orange/yellow
blend, named
after Dale Chihuly, the famous American glass artist. Just as
with glass, the sun plays its games with this rose, bringing out the
darker reds over time. Our cooler fall weather brought out the
stripes! Quite unique! Mild tea fragrance. Continuous
bloom. 3+ x 3
ft, Z6
Dream Come True™ WEKdocpot PPAF
Grandiflora, yellow with red edges, fragrant, AARS 2008, darker and larger in cooler

fruity
fragrance, disease resistant, sport of Livin'
Easy so you know it's
easy-care. 3 x 3 ft, Z6
Ebb Tide™
(WEKsmopur
- Carruth 2006)
Floribunda. Smoky deep plum purple. I put this in an
arrangement at the rose
show and people were trailing behind me as I carried it in wanting to
know what the rose of unbelievably dark purple was. We think this
rivals some of the older Gallicas (and perhaps may surpass them since
it blooms all season long with large clove fragrant flowers). 4 x
3 ft.
Falling In Love™

fragrant. Simply lovely. As the Weeks Catalog states, "You'll swoon for this
one!" 4 x 3 ft Z6

billows of
light pink and
cream apple fragrance flowers in large clusters. Clean matte
green foliage.
Near continuos bloom. Rounded shrub, slightly spilling with the
weight of the clusters. 3 x 3+ ft. Reported safe with winter mulch in Vermont, Z3!
Flutterbye™
(WEKplasol) (Carruth 1996 PP9715)
Masses of single multicolored yellow, coral, tangerine and pink
clusters on this tall Shrub or pillar rose/Climber (the latter in mild
climates). Spicey fragrance with very glossy leaves. Highly
disease
resistant. The shape benefits from light pruning. 6-10 ft.
George
Burns (WEKcalroc - Carruth 1998 PP#10334)
The sun brings out the red and pink stripes on the yellow and cream
flowers. A rose that is sure to make you smile, and the real
George Burns wouldn't have had it any other way. Strong and
fruity fragrance which was most likely Gracie's idea to cover up
George's
cigar smoke! 3 x 3 ft, Z6
Heart O'
Gold™ (WEKdykstra - Dykstra
1997 PP10713) Grandiflora. Cerise
pink with a "heart o'
gold". The product of two other wonderful varieties: Broadway x
Gold Medal. Tall, upright, strong fragrance of peach and old
rose. Those with some heat will get the best color, but those in
cooler temps will enjoy larger flowers. 5+ x 3 ft.
Honey
Dijon
(WEKsproulses - Sproul 2005
PPAF) Grandiflora. Just as the name says, but even
deeper in cooler
climates. This unique warm golden brown is vigorous and
floriferous. Very fragrant too. 5 x 3 ft.
Hot
Cocoa™
(WEKpaltlez - Carruth 2003)
Floribunda. No other rose of this color on the market.
Described as smoky
chocolate orange. Depending on your weather it may be more
chocolate or more orange too! One of our best disease resistant varieties and the
flowers have a moderate old rose fragrance. 4 x 3 ft, Z5/6
In
the Mood™ WEKfrancoly - PPAF
Caruth 2007 Vivid red,
excellent form and color stay. Great for cutting, one that Tracy
says makes him smile every time he sees it in the garden. 4 x 3 ft
Julia Child
(Carruth 2006 PPAF) Floribunda.
If you ever enjoyed any of Julia Child's cooking shows you know how
much she loved butter. I can actually hear her telling Jacques
Pépin "more butter" in her distinctive warble. I think
it's
wonderful that she picked out this butter yellow rose to bear her
name. The fragrance is a strong licorice and spice.
Great disease resistance too. One of my favorites for those with
small gardens. AARS winner 2006. 3 x 3 ft
Lasting
Love™
(Commandant
Cousteau® - Adam 1993 PPAF) Hybrid Tea. Dark dusky
red and very fragrant in the realm of Mister Lincoln. Less mauve
and more red in milder climates. Very glossy leaves with burgundy new
growth. 4 x 2 ft Z7
Lime
Sublime™

pastel chartreuse. One that stands out as it stands up in the
heat and humidity or in the milder northern climates. Slight
fragrance. Floriferous, dark green glossy leaves. 4 x 3 ft.

yellow HT to grace your yard - the wait is over! 4+ x 3 ft.
Memorial
Day™ WEKblunez Carruth
2004 PPAF
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.
Miami Moon™
(WEKvosuimp - Caruuth 2002 PP13509)
Floribunda. This unusual shade of shrimp pink bedecks these
ruffled flowers on a
compact bushy plant. The color deepens in moderate temperatures.
Clean glossy leaves. 2+ x 2+ ft.
Midnight
Blue™
(WEKfabpur - Carruth 2004 PPAF) Shrub. Dark deep purple
with rich clove

leaves. A compact 3 x 3 ft.

Neptune
(WEKhilpurnil -
Carruth 2004 PPAF)
Hybrid Tea. Lavender with purple on the petal edges. A
large flower with
large sweet rose fragrance (What would you expect from a cross of [Blueberry
Hill x Stephens'
Big Purple]
x Blue
Nile?) Good vigor, 5 x 3 ft, Z6 . This one made Tracy's Top
12 list.
Night Owl™
(WEKpurosot -

Octoberfest™

Oranges
'n'
Lemons (MACoranlem
- McGredy 1995
PP#9191)
Shrub. Outstanding
yellow and
orange striped flowers billowing all over a plant of dark glossy

"Look at me!" Tall canes can be trained as a small climber in
mild climates, or used as a stand alone fountain-like shrub. 6-8
ft, Z4
Outta the

Scentimental™

first striped rose to win an All-American Rose Award. Dark red
swirled with white, and the pattern is different on the bottom of the
petal! Very fragrant (better be, with a name like that!) of rose
and spice. Good disease resistance. Vigorous 4 x 4 ft, Z6
Sky's the
Limit™
(WEKprimsou - Carruth 2005 PPAF) Shrub/Large-flowered
Climber, butter yellow, fragrant, disease resistant, 10+ ft ***
Spice So
Nice™
(WEKwesflut - Carruth 2002 PP16154)
Apricot orange with yellow centers adorn glossy green foliage.

Climbs best in mild climates. Westerland

Fragrant. Most intense in cooler temps. 4 x 3 ft.
Watercolors™
WEKclaflabo PPAF Carruth 2008 Shrub,
yellow/pink blend single flowers with a light apple fragrance.
Very disease
resistant, 3
x 4 ft. You can certainly see the Be-Bop parentage here and I'm
impressed that our photos are a pretty close match to the hybridizer's
(minus the spider, of course). What starts off as a yellow blend
turns pink and then ends in the cerise family - similar to that more
tender China rose, Mutabilis. Z5/6
We Salute
You™
(WEKvoosun - PPAF Carruth 2006) Hybrid Tea,orange/pink blend, best
