Cast Your Vote For A Chance to Own the New Rose
Our very own show host, John Bagnasco, a renowned rose hybridizer, former professor of horticulture, and author, has teamed up with Heirloom Roses to create a delicate yet prolific Polyantha rose. As an active member of the American Rose Society, Bagnasco has a deep passion for Polyantha roses and is dedicated to educating people on all aspects of roses, including their care, breeding, and history.
This unique Polyantha variety produces clusters of 15–25 blooms per stem. Its 5-petaled pink blooms gradually fade to a creamy white with streaks of pink in a starburst pattern, set against shiny green foliage with laciniated edges. A vigorous grower requiring minimal care, this rose brings a burst of joy wherever it is placed in the garden.
