Just around the next corner are the King and the Queen of water plants: Lotus and Water Lily, with unforgettable beauty no other plant can compare. The variety of shape and color of a huge number of flowers that only nature can produce, make it a difficult job to choose what to look at first.

For those who want more information about specific flowers, most flower plants are labeled with botanical (scientific) and common names, just copy the botanical name and search it on the internet.

Rainbow Sorbet

Rainbow Sorbet is as cool and delicious as it sounds. This multicolor floribunda harkens back to the popular variety Playboy from which it is a descendant.

More rugged and winter hardy, Rainbow Sorbet shows a resistance to black spot similar to many shrub roses on the market. With a symphony of bright color uninterrupted throughout the season, Rainbow Sorbet can be used either as a powerful accent or as a bold border for those who like to make a statement in their garden.

Rainbow Sorbet was developed by Ping Lim of Bailey Nurseries and is being introduced by The Conard Pyle Co. of West Grove, Penn

Pink Promise

Pink Promise – a graceful bloomer with long stems for cutting – will promise that your garden is a stunning spectacle this year. Most impressively, the National Breast Cancer Foundation selected this rose to officially represent a continual blooming promise of compassion and awareness. For every Pink Promise plant purchased, a percentage of the sales will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation to help extend women's lives through education and early detection. This hybrid tea’s beauty is enhanced by the contrast of its large pink blossoms set against lush dark green foliage. Along with its stunning appearance, Pink Promise has good disease resistance, and flourishes even in cooler climates. A highly fragrant rose, Pink Promise fills any room with a deliciously fruity scent.

Pink Promise was hybridized by Jim Coiner and introduced by Coiner Nursery of Lavern, Calif

Carefree Spirit

Recognizing that consumers want roses that are easy to care for, in 2004, AARS stopped spraying fungicides on all shrub roses in its nationwide test gardens. Carefree Spirit is the first and only landscape shrub to date to endure this real-world testing and prevail as a Winner. This mounding rose produces deep red blossoms with white twinkles in their eyes; the blooms finish pink as they bask in the sun. Carefree Spirit amplifies the disease resistance associated with its Carefree lineage, with more than ten years of hybridization improvement. Much like its parent rose, Carefree Delight™, which was a All-America Rose Selections Winner in 1996, the petals are beautifully set amongst abundant glossy, dark green foliage, however it has even better disease resistance, habit and blooming power, and will perform well in any area of the country.

Carefree Spirit was hybridized by Jacques Mouchotte, director of research at Meilland International and introduced by Conard-Pyle Co. of West Grove, Penn.

Dick Clark

No two flowers are exactly alike on this changeable chameleon of a rose. Black-red buds spiral open to show off swirls of cream edged & washed with vibrant cherry pink. But that’s not the end of the exhibit on these classically-formed fragrant flowers. When the sun strikes the petals, they begin to blush burgundy, finishing as a deep dark red. Put all this color against super-shiny-green foliage with nice long cutting stems and you’ve got a killer combo. In addition to all this beauty, Dick Clark is easy to grow with great vigor – a beautiful bushy baby from the famous Fourth of July.

Easy Does It

Deeee…lectable colors of mango orange, peach pink & ripe apricot bounce off the mirrored glossy green leaves, providing a flamboyant fruit salad for the landscape. Her free-flowing swirling shades of sunset show up in fragrant large colorful clusters atop a rounded bushy plant. So disease resistant, vigorous, flowerful & fabulous, you just can’t say ‘no’ to this seductress of the garden. The one & only AARS award winner granted for 2010…it’s distinctively delightful

Walking On Sunshine

Walking on Sunshine™ is the 2011 AARS winner from Jackson & Perkins. This rose should be an easy success for those new to roses because of its fantastic bloom production, plant vigor and good disease resistance. It produces clusters of bright yellow anise scented flowers which finish light yellow in color. The gradual fade in color adds another layer of interest to this neat, rounded easy care rose.
