Easy Does It Rose
Weeks Roses has just announced that it's new Easy does It Rose (cv. HARpageant), has just been selected by All America Rose Selections (AARS) as the winning rose for 2010.
It's a floribunda, medium height and bushy, with colors that range from mango to peach to apricot. It has a mild fruity fragrance and its blossoms, with a petal count of 25 to 30, are medium-large, double and ruffled.
Weeks sent me one of these roses earlier this year, and so far, I can report that it lives up to its disease-resistant promise, too. No sign of black spot in our hot and humid DC climate, at least not yet, and the dark green foliage contrasts beautifully with the blooms.
And the flower color is simply gorgeous. The parentage of this rose is (Queen Charlotte x Della Balfour) x Baby Love. Hybridizer is Harkness New Roses, 2010.
It's the only AARS winner for next year, and definitely a winner in my own garden.
