™
Floribunda • cv. WEKjucstokol • Pat.#32,810
Roses are already known as the queen of the flower world but with
Queen of Elegance you are getting multi-petaled, old-fashioned
medium pink and large flowers worthy of a monarch! The blooms
are certainly sophisticated and elegant but the strong rose perfume
is what make this variety deserving of belonging to the aristocracy.
Each long-lasting and non-fading blossom invites you to bury your
nose to inhale the perfume of ‘old time’ roses of your dreams. Her
eminence is also an excellent garden variety as the upright vigorous
plant is robed with glossy dark green foliage, holding the refined
blooms at the right height for your satisfaction.

Rosie the Riveter
™
Floribunda • cv. WEKzazou • Pat.#31,190
Rosie the Riveter pays tribute to the women who worked in factories
and shipyards during World War II. The old-fashioned unusual
flowers of orangey-gold suffused with pink are surely reminiscent
of that era. The exquisite pointy and shapely buds are proudly held
on top of very glossy dark foliage as a feminine symbol of charm and
strength. A flower representing a women’s cultural icon without
fragrance would not work. The moderate fruity & spice fragrance is
the perfect complement. Like the tireless Rosies, the even rounded
plants of Rosie the Riveter are the workhorse of the garden,
producing an arsenal of flowers. Maximum flower power?

Shockwave ™
Floribunda • cv . WEKgojolo • Pat.# 21,531
There’s no rose that’s any yellowier…and no foliage that’s any
greenier. The combo makes your eyes blink & your head spin in
disbelief. Better yet, the flowers hold on to their searing yellow
tones to the very end, dropping away from the well-behaved plant
just in time to welcome the next round of bloom. Tidy enough
to tuck into a landscape, lend an accent to a container or top a
rose tree. Loads of bright, super-glossy apple green leaves mirror
the blazing blossoms. Consistent in all climates.
