Top Gun         ™
                   Medium Shrub cv. WEKmoridahor • Pat.#29,699

        Top Gun – The Best of the Best. That’s a true statement as this variety has excellent
        ‘DISEASE RESISTANCE’ to major rose diseases. Just this fact alone makes it a
        very good new introduction for the landscape. But, with the added resistance
        to Rose Rosette Disease, it’s truly the Best of the Best. In multiple years of trials
        throughout the Eastern United States, Top Gun came out standing proud un-
        touched by Rose Rosette where most other varieties showed symptoms of infection.
        That’s quite amazing! The top-ranked variety is also a high performer when it
        comes to bloom production. The rounded bushy well-behaved plant produces
        vigorous stems ending with clusters of long-lasting dark red flowers. For top
        flowering performance in the garden and outstanding clean foliage in most
        climates, look no further than Top Gun!
