There are many qualities gardeners seek in their roses…fragrance, color, shape just to name a few. But we really only have the chance to enjoy these characteristics if our roses are actually blooming! And this is why we have a whole collection of roses that are Bloomin’ Fools. With a grand slam of long lasting color Home Run® hits it out of the park with showy flame red open blooms that last well into extra innings. Not only do you get to enjoy the Home Run’s game all season long but you also don’t have to worry about disease, with natural resistance to black spot and mildew. A stunner in mass plantings and landscapes Home Run® also bats a thousand in containers as well. |

For eternal color it’s hard to beat the trio of Iceberg, Brilliant Pink Iceberg and Burgundy Iceberg™ . All carry the high flower / low maintenance banner by bringing loads of blooms while being easy to grow with disease resistance and a vigorous habit. Whichever color you pick, clusters of long-lasting blossoms await...' And what’s best about Weeks Roses "bergs" are that you don’t even need to settle for one on a plant! With our Twofer™ trees you can pair classic white Iceberg with either Burgundy or Brilliant Pink for a bi-colored cascade of color.

Only have a small space but need big color? Then Gizmo™ is a perfect scarlet orange miniature that produces mounds of ruffly color. Tuck Gizmo™ into a smaller space and watch her go with contrasting white eyes that will gaze back at you with every glance. But what if you have more landscape to cover and need more space? No worries with Fourth of July™ , a climbing fireworks show of color. With the loads of red and white striped blooms spraying the sky with color you will soon find out how fragrant this climber is as well. This All-America Rose Selections winner has it all with great blooms even in the first season. |

Perhaps you are looking for a change of color. It’s hard to resist the delicious Julia Child , with buttery gold flowers that seem to always fill the garden with golden color and intense fragrance. Another AARS winner, winning over the judges with natural disease resistance and glossy green foliage to set off the contrasting flowers. If you like color that really is easy, then it’s hard to beat Livin’ Easy™ and Easy Going™ . And this fruit cocktail of apricot orange and golden peach yellow color can even be found together on a 36” Twofer™ tree. These complimentary colored beauties are easy to watch as the flowers fill gardens all year long. |

Some of the newer Bloomin’ Fools include Cinco de Mayo™. This celebration of color may be hard to describe, with smoky lavender and rusty red-orange hues blending magnificently together. But once this party’s started this seedling of Julia Child knows how to cook, equally at home in mass plantings or mixed with other flowers in the landscape. New this year, and carrying the torch as the only AARS winner for this year, Easy Does It™ provides non stop clusters of a mango, peach and apricot blend that makes it easy to see why she captured the honors. Swirling warm hues surround this rounded, bushy plant that screams easy with disease resistance and floriferous flower power. |

Two other floribundas with fun flowers are Topsy Turvy™ and Betty Boop™ . Topsy has long white buds that open to show off scarlet petals while keeping a white reverse. You get to see both sides of this swirling flower, owing up to the Tospy Turvy™ name as clusters cascade to the ground. Betty Boop™ is filled with fun loving color of open, yellow ivory flowers edged in red. Spunky blooms are quick to repeat, always giving gardeners a reason to stop and smell the roses. |
