Firefighter® HYBRID TEA ♨
Folklore
Folklore HYBRID TEA
(Var: KORlore) One of the top exhibition roses. Slow-opening, high-centered blooms are warm salmon with a rich, golden-orange reverse. The tall, slightly spreading, vase-shaped plants bear long stems covered with red tinted, waxy foliage that is extremely disease resistant. Every year several of our customers report a climbing sport, but this isn’t true. It’s just the nature of the beast. Pinching will keep the critter in bounds. Deliciously fragrant and hardy.

(Var: ORAdal, aka: Hacienda, Red n’ Fragrant) Finally a fragrant red rose! The flowers of Firefighter are strong, rich red and wonderfully scented. This upright hybrid tea battles back disease and the blooms, true to the name, hold up well even in intense heat. Fragrant red roses don’t come down the path very often because they can bring disease as baggage. This one resists them all with minimal spraying. This will make a great gift for your favorite firefighter. The first sponsorship rose of the Remember Me garden fund to honor the victims of 9-11.

Fragrant Cloud HYBRID TEA
(Var: TANellis) Large, full blooms of deep orange- red have a fragrance that will knock your socks off. The plant is a shorty and requires an extra application of fertilizer to get stems long enough to show. The red tinted foliage is extremely resistant and persists long enough to give the plant an extra shot of starch that ensures hardiness even in cold winter areas. Oddly enough the introducer withheld this variety from the market for five years for fear it couldn’t compete with Tropicana. Looks like it’s going to outlive it.

Fragrant Plum
Fragrant Plum GRANDIFLORA
(Var: AROplumi) The name says it all: this rose is one fruity beauty. Bountiful, plum-colored blooms with darker, smoky edges and heady fragrance reward growers of this beautiful grandiflora. The richly colored flowers, held high on long, clustered stems, are perfect for filling vases, and the lush, deep green, squeaky-clean foliage provides a great backdrop.

(Plant Patent #19970, Var: MEItroni) This is no
ordinary light pink hybrid tea. This is one of only a few hybrid tea roses to win the prestigious ADR contest in Germany, having been observed there for 3 years under no spray conditions and found to have excellent disease resistance for its type. This remarkable rose bears the name of a remarkable rose breeder, in honor of his 100th birthday. The large, high-centered blooms of soft, shell pink emit a wonderful fragrance that everyone identifies with a “real rose.” Dark green, semi-glossy foliage rounds out the package of this multiple award winner. Zone 5 hardy. Grown own root.
