ALL-AMERICA ROSE SELECTIONS FOR 2008
DREAM COME TRUE
|
Dream Come True is a stunning sight of catchy
colors, which lures the likes of even non-rose lovers to its
side. This rose produces flawlessly formed yellow
blossoms, blushed with ruby-red at the tips, all set amongst
abundant matte green foliage. The big, bushy vigorous plant
yields long-stemmed, long-lived blooms with mild tea fragrance,
making it lovely in the landscape and a great choice for
bouquets.
Dream Come True was hybridized by Dr. John
Pottschmidt of
Cincinnati,
Ohio – only the 3rd
amateur hybridizer to win the AARS Award in 67 years – and
introduced by Weeks Roses of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.

MARDI GRAS
|
With flamboyant blooms in a novel blend of
pink, orange, and yellow, and a delightful peppery scent, Mardi
Gras creates a festive atmosphere in any setting. Each
high-centered hybrid tea style bloom begins as an apricot-orange
bud that slowly spirals open to reveal a 4-inch bright pink and
orange bloom with a yellow base. As an All-America Rose
Selections (AARS) winner, this festive floribunda has proven to
perform exceptionally well across the country with little-to-no
care. The colorful blooms are perfectly framed with dark green,
semi-glossy foliage, and its upright columnar habit makes Mardi
Gras an ideal rose to use as a hedge or in a border with mixed
perennials.
Mardi Gras was hybridized by Keith Zary
and is introduced by
Jackson
& Perkins Wholesale, Inc. of Medford, Ore.
