2001
AARS Winners
The 2001 All-American Rose Selection (AARS)
winners are stunning beauties that will
make your garden the envy of the neighborhood.
Since 1938, the AARS (a non-profit association
of rose growers) has placed its stamp on
outstanding new rose varieties. Judges base
their scores on over a dozen traits including
color, fragrance, disease resistance, flower
form, vigor, hardiness, growth habit and
foliage. Here are the 2001 AARS winners:

Glowing
Peace™ Named after its grandparent
Peace, the world's most renowned rose,
it features large, round buds that open
to reveal full blooms with golden yellow
and cantaloupe orange blended petals.
Deep, glossy green foliage serves as
a backdrop for the luminous blooms and
gives way to stunning burgundy fall
color. |

Sun
Sprinkles™ Only the fifth
miniature ever to win AARS honors and
the first since 1993. A shining example
of disease resistance, it shows off
bright yellow blooms set against a dark
green foliage. Its high, pointed oval
buds spiral open to reveal 2" petite
double blooms with 25 to 30 petals.
The moderate spicy fragrance features
overtones of musk. Sun Sprinkles grows
18" to 24" tall and is ideal for lining
walkways, accenting formal rose beds
and growing in containers. |

Marmalade
Skies™ The Beatles sang of
a world with Marmalade Skies - and now
your garden can include a hint of what
the Fab Four was singing about. Throughout
the blooming season, brilliant tangerine
orange blooms and medium olive green
satiny foliage put on a constant show
of color. This plant grows to 3 feet
by 3 feet, making it the perfect rose
for a hedge, and produces clusters of
5 to 8 blooms on each strong stem with
21/2" to 3" double blooms of 17 to 25
petals. |

| Now's
the time to plant bare-root roses.
You can save up to 50% by purchasing bare-root
roses versus waiting for these same roses
in planters. And bareroot plants usually
adapt better to your garden than plants
transplanted from containers because they
only have to adjust to one type of soil...
yours! Plus, the selection is fantastic.
For example at Fred Meyer Garden Centers,
you'll find over 75 varieties to choose
from. Click here for our 3-Step-No-Fail-Plan
for Planting Bareroot Roses.

While
much of the information in these tips is
applicable in several gardening zones/climates,
some of the plants and timing suggested
are best suited to the Northwest, generally
in the mild/wet growing regions found along
the I-5 corridor. You should make appropriate
adjustments or consult local gardening experts
in regions whose climates differ from this
area of the Northwest. |
