Sunrise Sunset Rose

Sorry, sold out for 2010.

We really like this new rose! It is always in bloom all season long. And its blossoms are just beautiful -- the color is a blend of pinks with apricot yellow in the center. The flower form is semidouble with slightly wavy petals. The foliage is very healthy, making this rose easy to grow. It has a dense, spreading and slightly mounding form. This rose blends well with other perennials, shrubs and roses and is great in mass plantings. It has vigorous growth and the canes are winter hardy to the snowline in northern Zone 4.

This rose has been tested across the country and is proving to be one of the best new landscape roses. Here are some test results:

  • Chicago Botanical Gardens: Best performer, continuous bloom, good health and habit.
  • Cornell University: You have a winner with this one. Excellent potential for a landscape shrub rose.
  • Spring Grove Arboretum, Ohio: Best recurrent bloom. One of our favorites.
  • Jefferies Nursery, Manitoba: Over 50 flowers on one plant. Show stopper. Excellent rebloom.

So, you can see from the comments above that this new rose is outstanding and grows and blooms well in a variety of conditions.

This new rose is part of the Easy Elegance series, and comes with a 2-year guarantee from the plant breeder, Bailey Nurseries. More info is available on the Easy Elegance Web site.

What's a "bareroot" plant?

Photo of 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.
