More New Roses


Here are four more new additions to the garden this year. 
Sexy Rexy is a beautiful rose.  The form of the flower is classic and it often blooms in sprays of 10 to 12 blossoms.  The flowers are on the small side – 3” to 4” and have no scent but are so beautiful that I give this one a hearty recommendation.
Noble Anthony is a David Austin rose.  It has not been terribly vigorous in its first year, but it has a lovely sweet fragrance.  Perhaps it needs a little time to establish itself.
Grace Abounding is a lovely peachy colored rose with a light fragrance.  The photo I saw on-line showed ten or so flowers blooming at once, so I expect it will be more productive once it gets bigger.  The flowers hold their form for quite a while.  We had a heat wave last week and while most of the other roses in the yard withered and scorched, Grace held her shape and stayed beautiful.
Sight Saver (aka The Oregonian) is a large blossomed rose – 6” to 7” with a nice fruity fragrance.  The plant came as a band and is still fairly small, but shows great promise.
