Chuckles makes us smile! It has huge blossoms for such a small plant. The large flowers have dark-pink petals with a white center. Clusters of blossoms cover the plant all summer. Excellent in a mass planting, or in a mixed perennial garden. Healthy foliage and blossoms that fall off the plant cleanly make this an easy-care rose. Winter hardy to the crown in Zone 4. We just cut the canes back each spring to give a uniform shape to the plant. A reliable plant that makes us happy all summer.

What's a "bareroot" plant?
 "Bareroot"
is a term that describes how a plant is shipped to you. A
bareroot plant is not in a pot, and is usually dormant (not
actively growing). See the photo to the right that shows what
a bareroot rose looks like. The bareroot plants that we ship
to you were harvested in the fall and placed in cold storage
over the winter to keep them dormant. In the spring, we ship
the bareroot plants to our customers, from early April through
mid May.
Bareroot plants are easy to grow. We include planting instructions
with your order. When you receive your plant, take it out
of the packing material and place it in a bucket of water
so that the roots are completely covered. Let the roots soak
for 4 to 24 hours, then plant it in your garden. Full planting
instructions with photos are available on our Planting
Roses page. |
