All-America Rose Selections (AARS) Winner 2008

A floribunda rose, Mardi Gras flowers heavily in continuous waves over a long season, from late spring to late fall. The flowers are borne in dazzling clusters of apricot-orange to red buds and blended bright pink, orange, and yellow blooms. The 4-inch double blooms have 20 petals and a light spicy fragrance. The flowers are ideal for cutting. Just one snip makes a lovely bouquet.

The medium-sized bush has a rounded, bushy habit and good disease resistance. This is a versatile rose that works well in landscapes, garden beds, hedges, or borders.

NOTE: Tree and patio roses are hardy to Zone 6 regardless of the rose variety grafted to their tops.
