Like other hybrid teas, it makes a great specimen.
Look A Likes® Apple Dapple
(Rosa 'Meiplumty')
If you haven't seen the Look a Likes series from Star, do look them up. The blooms on the latest, shown here, look like apple blossoms. It's three feet tall by four wide, a great groundcover rose for the front of borders. Flowers in early spring, and repeat blooms through the season. Very resistant to rust and mildew. To Zone 5. HYbridized by Meilland International.
Peachy Keen™
(Rosa 'Radgor')
This is a shrub rose with shell pink flowers, and there's a hint of yellow in the middle of the bloom. It's said to be exceptionally disease resistant, and it blooms from spring until frost, so it would be great as a hedge or massed in the border.
Three feet tall, three to four wide, with a mounding habit, to zone 5. hybridized by Will Radler.
