New Rose Gallery
Some new, new rose varieties you can expect to see between this summer and the next. One of the hot trends amongst breeders is that of fragrance in the roses, and I believe that we will experience a renaissance of delicious and delightfully perfumed blooms over the coming years.
The other is the introduction of large roses, with high petal counts and strong rosettes, often cupped, such as Finess and Hearts.
At Flores Verdes they have recently started production of Orange Intuition, an addition to the "Intuition" series. In my opinion it is the best of the three, featuring distinct striations of orange, salmon and white. The rose still does not reflex fully, but the aperture obtained in a vase is eye-catching.
At Pambaflor, a farm we recently started doing business with they had on display this new and rather attractibe deep lavender rose called Opus.
Finally a strong vigorous yellow rose with an impressive perfume that has hints of lemon in deep tones of tea. Very pleasing aroma, it also opens to a rich, exuberant yellow. Clearly, if the breeders hew to this trend of producing fragrant hybrid tea roses, they will soon replace the rather weak garden roses.
A new hybrid tea from the breeder SPEK which is under trial at Pambaflor. This features an alluring sweet strawberries-and-cream scent with overtones of peach perfume. It is very strong, with good vase life. The rose has no name as yet, but it is sure to be a hit, as it travels well and disease resistant.
An interesting rose under trial at Agrirose, features high petal count and large head-size. It is an ivory-beige color with antique carmine mottling on the margins ot the petals. This rose is still a code but is similar to a Double Delight on steroids.
Ginette, a new large headed rose with clean, lilac color features a high petal count in a deep rosette. Excellent vase life. Modest amounts will be introduced in late summer.
