Golden Sunblaze

 Introduced in the US by Star roses in 1993. Ralph Moore also bred a Golden Sunblaze in 1977. I planted the 1993 version in an area that got a lot of reflected light and the plant just stressed, started dropping leaves. Once moved out of reflected light it has regrown leaves and put out new blossoms.

The Fairy

 Bred in 1932. Light pink in clusters. So far it seems to be about as tall as it is wide about 1.5 feet each way. It has been in the ground for a little less than a year, so it is still young. For more information:

Variegata di Bologna

Variegata di Bologna, a Bourbon rose from Italy. It is said to be a sport, or a mutation, of another rose. However there are references out there that imply that Variegata di Bologna was raised from seed. It is a once blooming rose, though there are also references that say it blooms sporadically though I have never seen that; nor know of anyone who has. This rose can grow long canes, suitable for tying horizontally or for pegging. Pegging is essentially growing it up and then bringing the cane back down to the ground so it makes a big upsidedown"U" shape. You can also use it as a background shrub where you don't have to fuss with it after the flowers are done.

Duchesse de Brabant

 A pink tea rose, reported to be Theodore Roosevelt's favorite rose. It has multiple names to it, but this is the one that I bought it as. I have only had it since September 2020. It did get through the 2 week period in February that we got to around zero or a little below. It also has a white sport, mutation, called Madame Joseph Schwartz. Duchesse de Brabant does like to be watered well, so plant it in an easy place to get the hose to. For more information on Duchesse de Brabant:
