1999 Intro

(cv. MAClanter) PPAF

Sweet ‘m’ sour it ain’t—but your eyes might pucker a little when they behold this fantastic new color. Stripes of pure yellow splashed onto bright orange will stop even the most finicky rose buyer in their tracks. The mahogany red new folliage shows up all year long, maturing to a very resistant deep green. This vigorous bush has a fountainous habit that can be trained as a climber or pillar in milder climates.
