[THE ARKANSAS WOMAN] Roses and Mother's Day

[VIKIDIDIT]

I was shopping at ACE Hardware for gardening supplies this morning when I saw the sign accouncing that they had just received a shipment of Jackson/Perkin Roses. Oh, my goodness I cannot begin to describe the gorgeous roses they have in stock. So I will upload some pictures of a few that I saw. You will have to go to Ace Hardware to appreciate their aroma

This beautiful pink to apricot rose is the Nancy Reagan Hybrid Tea (Rose, 5’ H / Apricot / Pointed, ovoid buds / 5” blooms / 30 petals / 16”-18” stems / Glossy, dark green foliage / Light, sweet fragrance / Full sun / )

It is a stunningly beautiful rose. Go here for more info:

Nancy Reagan in the searchbox.

I saw another that looked like this one. I did not get the name of the one in stock but am pretty sure it is the same rose. It looks as though someone has painted the edges with rose colored paint.

"Double Delight Hybrid Tea Rose, Bareroot
You can smell its luscious scent from ten feet away!"

Click on the link above and then enter - Double Delight Hybrid Tea Rose in the searchbox

I saw one bushy type that I believe is this one. I did not know it was a groundcover but it certainly was an eye catcher.

"Happy Chappy Groundcover Rose,
Rare new coloring in groundcover roses.Bright orange, pink, and yellow flowers. Compact weather-tolerant plant, constantly covered with flowers."

Again, click the link above and enter -Happy Chappy Groundcover Rose.

I love roses and already have 7 nice, healthy, blooming plants. After my trip to Ace Hardware in West Conway I know what I am going to get for Mother's Day - I Hope!

ENJOY! AND HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY - HUG YOUR MOTHER IN PERSON OR OVER THE TELEPHONE.
