Mauve or mauve blend Floribunda.
(PPAF) Milk chocolate and lavender? You have to see it to believe it! It’s hard to imagine a milky chocolate-colored bud maturing to a solid soft lavender blossom. The transition is so unusual and actually quite beautiful. The chocolate is creamy, like latte, but the latte goes ‘loco’ and finishes fully lavender. The blooms have impeccable show form and are long-lasting on the plant and in the vase. Rounded, bushy plants are chock full of deep green leaves that stay clean and healthy. Beyond its novelty, this is a great plant! Flower Size: 3-1/2 to 4-1/2″. Fragrance: Mild. Hybridizer: Bedard, 2012.

Deep pink Hybrid Tea.
A brilliant deep, clear pink – so bright you’d think it would glow in the dark. As a garden subject it has no peer because it’s constantly in bloom all season long. In fact, few bother to disbud it because it would limit bloom production. The large foliage is polished deep green and goes right up to the neck of the bloom. Under ordinary circumstances it’s one of the cleanest, hardiest, brightest pinks around. Cursed with a myriad of tiny, sharp thorns, which is undoubtedly its only means of protecting its super fragrant blooms. Flower Size: 5-7″. Fragrance: Strong. Hybridizer: McGredy, 1973.

Medium yellow Floribunda.
There’s no rose that’s any yellower and no foliage that’s any greener. The combo makes your eyes blink & your head spin in disbelief. Better yet, the flowers hold on to their searing yellow tones to the very end, dropping away from the well-behaved plant just in time to welcome the next round of bloom. Tidy enough to tuck into a landscape, lend an accent to a container or top a rose tree. Loads of bright, super-glossy apple green leaves mirror the blazing blossoms.
