There aren’t enough red climbers! Happily ‘Altissimo’ is the answer to everyone’s needs. It is a moderate climber - perfect for the eight-foot porch pillar or trellis. Put it in a place of prominence as it will reward you with large, flat, semi-double velvety flowers of blood-red throughout the season.

'Always Hope' was appropriately named by an ARE long-time employee and cancer survivor. It was her mantra.  This rose is certainly one of substance as she blooms prolifically and bears a bounty of colorful hips.  As a landscape showpiece, you can't beat 'Always Hope' as it is ideally suited for large containers or massed in the back of a border where color is needed.

The found rose, "Bailey Red" comes to us from Holly Springs, North Carolina via the Heritage Rose Foundation president, Charles Walker. The clusters of single red flowers are set off by the yellow stamens of this six-foot plant. It is thought to be a relatively modern Floribunda or Hybrid Tea, but it has proven to be a very rewarding garden plant regardless of its class.

One of the best roses for hedging, ‘Ballerina’ produces clouds of small, single, pink roses with white eyes on a compact arching bush with thick foliage. It can be pruned to shape or allowed to spill over naturally. When the leaves begin to thin in the late fall, the entire bush is lit up with tiny orange-red hips like bright Christmas lights. If grown as a climber, this rose will reach 6 to 10 feet.

The erect habit, rounded leaves, and thornless stems of 'Basye's Blueberry' make it look quite similar to a blueberry bush, especially when the leaves begin to take on their fall color. Bright pink, semi-double fragrant flowers with bright yellow stamens add to the appeal. This plant represents one of the stepping stones toward Dr. Robert Basye’s goal of thornless, disease-free roses.
