Grandbaby. 2022. 2 x 2 feet Z5-11 R Fr my Don’t put this baby in a corner, but rather in a colorful container or massed in a border planting. By marrying it with blue flowering perennials, a stunning contrast could be created in your garden. It is unusual for a yellow flowering rose to be fragrant and bear clean foliage, but this one does. You will find yourself smitten by this charming rose.

Gypsy Sue. 5 to 6 feet. Zone 5-11. R. Fr. H. ab.
'Gypsy Sue' is a very vigorous, upright shrub to six feet. Her vigor is in contrast to the delicate, Tea-like flowers of soft tones of apricot. The flowers are very double and fragrant. This rose is named after a benefactor of the Reeves Reed Arboretum.

1 to 2 feet Z7-11 R mp. Either an early miniature or a relative of the old R. chinensis minima, "Highway 290 Pink Buttons" has been found across Central and South Texas. The very double, one inch wide rosy-pink blossoms are produced constantly on a petite bush that responds well to pruning. A slow starter in the spring, "Pink Buttons" makes a fine little border or pot plant by mid-summer and continues to look good through the fall

2022. 5 X 5ft Z 5-11 R Fr H dp. 'Lasting Memories' is a rose straight from a romance novel, and leaves nothing to the imagination. Its fragrant perfume (cherry and damask with a hint of citrus) and velvety pink petals create the sensation that is ideal for any secret garden but will love your garden bed as well. This cold hardy, nearly thornless, 4 -5 foot shrub has clean foliage requiring little care once planted. Flowers are delicate, falling off of the plant cleanly only after a few days. With 'Dee-Lish' as a parent, fragrance is what this rose is known for.

2017. 4 to 5 feet Z5-11 R pb. 'Magic Celebration' originated as a seedling bred by Mike Shoup from special thornless varieties that rose hybridizer, Dr. Robert Basye, worked tirelessly to create. While the canes aren't as free of thorns as Dr. Basye's original material, the blooms do show off a brighter pink color

5 to 8 feet Z7-11 R Fr mp. The original plant of "McClinton Tea" from historic Natchitoches, Louisiana, perfumed the entire front of a small cottage garden. The robust, 7-foot tall plant had at least a dozen semi-double, bright pink, heavily Tea-scented flowers when we collected cuttings in mid-December. The reverse of the petals has a darker pink shading that adds a subtle depth to the large flower.

1995. 4 to 6 feet Z5-11 R Fr H pb This vigorous and tall shrub of six feet produces 2 1/2 inch flowers of soft pink from spring through fall. Due to its cold hardiness, 'Mrs. San Houston' can be used in difficult areas when other roses have failed.

3 to 5 feet Z7-11 R my. 'Nacogdoches' or “Grandma’s Yellow” as it is known in some circles, is a real eye catcher! The bright yellow roses appear throughout the growing season on an upright shrub and are excellent for cutting. We feel this rose is a modern Floribunda, but unlike its modern rose cousins, it has proven to be disease resistant

3 to 5 feet Z7-11 R Fr pb. We found this rose growing near a grave on the grounds of an old fort (1714) in Natchitoches, to Louisiana, and it is a real gem. Medium sized, cupped, light pink flowers were bravely blooming in mid-December when we collected cuttings. The original plant of "Natchitoches Noisette" is five feet tall and fairly compact in spite of obviously not having been pruned for years. The myrrh fragrance is outstanding; foliage is neat and healthy. We cannot be certain this plant is a Noisette, but it has most of the outstanding characteristics of the class.
