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.

This seedling of ‘Kirsten Poulsen’ displays bright, bi-colored pink single roses which are produced in large clusters. This rose bush is extremely popular in the North due to its cold hardiness and prolific blooming habit. We like its upright and bushy growth. When it is in bloom, which is frequent for us, it is a real eye-catcher. Mass plantings of ‘Kirsten Poulsen’ and ‘Betty Prior’ are breathtaking.

This everblooming rose, "Caldwell Pink", is one of the most popular roses with landscape designers in our area. Its double, lilac-pink flowers form clusters that can be seen at a distance, and the compact bush fills out nicely with a minimum of pruning and maintenance. It is not very particular about soil conditions but prefers a sunny open space. Some rosarians have suggested that this is the old China rose, ‘Pink Pet’, but we feel that it shows traces of wichuraiana or multiflora heritage and fits more naturally in the Polyantha class. The study name comes from a neighboring town, Caldwell, Texas, where this rose was found.

Long-lived and healthy, 'Cecile Brunner' tolerates everything from poor soil to partial shade.

This rose was one of the first roses to be involved in the promotional marketing of a consumer product, the Chrysler Imperial car. We can only hope those car owners enjoyed their Chrysler Imperial as much as we love ours! Lovely, long pointed buds open to globular flowers of dark velvety red. The 4-5 inch blooms contain a strong citrus scent .'Chrysler Imperial blooms are a must in any of our flower arrangements as we enjoy the striking color and the heavenly fragrance.

‘Clotilde Soupert’ reminds us of the Bourbon rose, ‘Souvenir de la Malmaison,’ only smaller. The flower is a rounded, cabbagey rose of creamy white with the very palest touches of pink in the center of its 100 petals which enfold its fine perfume. The compact growth habit and exquisite bloom make up for the tendency to ball in humid weather.

‘Peace’ crossed with ‘Independence’ produced this cherry red rose with the old-fashioned name. We are not sure why 'Dame de Coeur' dropped out of commerce, as it is healthy and free-blooming with large, double, very fragrant flowers that last well on the bush and in vases. The color is strong but mixes quite well in the landscape with older varieties of roses. This rose is also known as "The Black Rose," as the cherry-red coloration darkens to a crimson as it ages.

'Doreen's Centennial' is seldom out of bloom. Named after a benefactor of the Herman Park Garden Restoration effort in Houston Texas, it serves as a perfect tribute to the improvements. Loosely cascading plants covered in pom pom-like flowers perform beautifully in informal mixed borders. This rose is ideally suited for containers as well.

Regarded as the only white China rose, ‘Ducher’ blooms a soft ivory-white for us. The buds are very round and sometimes have a hint of pink on the outer petals opening to a delicate swirl of fragrant ivory petals. Smaller than many Chinas, this is a good candidate for a container. Although it exhibits the typical bronzy new growth, the foliage of ‘Ducher’ is uncharacteristically light green.

Of the four Poulsen roses bred by the Danish Poulsen brothers, Else (pink) and Kirsten (red) have proven to be the most popular.

The large three-inch single yellow flowers of 'Englemann's Quest' reminds us of wildflowers. This rose is best used in a perennial border where the flowers flutter in the wind.

Colors change in intensity due to seasonal temperatures. Leaves are uniquely curved giving the plant added texture. Ferdinand Lindheimer, a 1800's German botanist, lived in Texas and collected plants for thirty years.

Believed by some authorities to be a cross between China and multiflora, ‘Fellenberg’ is now taking its place as one of the very few red Noisettes. It is very free-flowering, with clusters of loose, rosy scarlet blooms. Healthy foliage decorates a plant of spreading habit and it is best used as a shrub or container rose. The autumn color is especially good, as the rose blooms take on a scarlet hue.

'Firecracker' Kolorscape is a refreshing and colorful addition to any landscape.   

This compact mounding shrub is loaded with brightly colored orange and yellow blooms from Spring until a hard frost. The lightly fragrant roses are semi-double and when the blooms fully open the pollinators move in for a feast. We also love the dark red colored canes as well as the red edged serrated leaves.

Small, rounded, apple-green leaves and large corymbs of brilliant carmine-pink little roses decorate ‘Gabrielle Privat’s’ bushy, mounding shrub. This rose mixes very nicely with ‘The Fairy’ in plantings. It has a similar form and bloom habit, but contrasting colors. It is also outstanding on its own or as a mass of color in a border.
