No gardeners are harder to impress than rosarians. They concentrate on the queen of the garden and discriminate even further into classes. So when the All-America Rose Selections™ (AARS™, www.rose.org) winners are announced, you can consider it a safe bet that the winning roses deserve a look. For 2007, three roses received awards Rainbow Knock Out®, Moondance™ and Strike It Rich™.
AARS Winners are tested for 2 years against 15 criteria, before being selected. Besides their outstanding beauty, winning roses must exhibit good disease resistant and ease of maintenance. Not what you'd immediately think of in exquisite roses. According to AARS president Steve Hutton. "We're especially proud of our 2007 winners. They'll thrive in traditional gardens as well as containers, and people will be thrilled with their intense color, fragrance and disease resistance."
