Sloat's 2008 Rose Selection

Rose season is here! Our 2008 rose selection is in stock and we’re thrilled with the quality. The below varieties represent this year’s warm yellow/red tones – and we know you’ll love them. Need help picking one? Visit us for rose growing advice or a rose care seminar.

Mardi Gras
Floribunda. Flamboyant, hybrid tea style blooms and a peppery scent. Begins as an apricot-orange bud that spirals open to reveal a 4-inch bright pink and orange bloom with a yellow base. An All-America Rose Selections winner, this festive floribunda has proven to perform exceptionally well with little-to-no care. Dark green, semi-glossy foliage and upright columnar habit. Ideal to use as a hedge or in a border.

Jacob’s Robe
Large-flowered Climber. Multi-color yellow & peach blushing pinky red. Even better than the beloved Joseph’s Coat (one of the most popular of all climbers), capturing the same great colors on a much improved plant. The blushing yellows, pinks & reds of Jacob’s Robe aren’t an exact match, but the multi-color effect is even more dramatic. It’s equally floriferous, re-blooming readily in the first year. More natural vigor, lusher, glossy deep green leaves, better disease resistance.

Falling in Love
Hybrid Tea. Warm pink with a cream reverse. Falling in Love has lots of big classically-formed fragrant flowers of warm pink & porcelain white. Each long-lived lovely blossom is regally carried atop sturdy stems, just waiting to be cut & enjoyed…or maybe just admired on this full and bushy plant. Destined to garner its share of awards.

Dream Come True
Grandiflora. Produces flawlessly formed yellow blossoms, blushed with ruby-red at the tips, all set among abundant matte green foliage. 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.
