Red roses, the quintessential symbol of love and romance. As a cut flower, a staple every February for Valentine’s Day™and again each May as mothers from Maine to California fill vases with rich red arrangements. In our gardens, red roses are often showpieces used as single elements or used en mass, creating a regal appearance. Although there are classic reds such as Mister Lincoln, a new breed of red roses helps to make gardens easier to maintain and even more beautiful. |

Many of the “old time” reds were introduced before hybridizing emphasized disease resistance. Just in the last decade, roses like Home Run® allow you to enjoy resistance to black spot and mildew while enjoying this shrub’s year round color. The open five petal blooms start early and continue to 'hit it out of the park' with continuous red color. The powerfully fragrant Lasting Love® is a dusky red hybrid tea that makes a great cut flower for your home. In the garden super glossy foliage with dark burgundy new growth makes for classic elegance yet with its own personality. |

Where some red roses tend to fade more in hot temps Legends™ keeps color in her ruby red blooms till the end. With HUGE ruffled flowers, Legends is already a legend in many gardens. Oprah Winfrey was involved in the multi-year evaluation and final selection of the “Legends” rose. Chosen to pay tribute to the wonderful women honored during Oprah's Legends Weekend. |

Two more fiery reds from Weeks Roses include All Ablaze and Firefighter®. As a cherry red climber, All Ablaze is the perfect color red to cover a trellis, wall or other space where the flames can roam. A repeat bloomer that’s hardy with a vigorous growing habit, it’s hard to contain this wildfire of color. Firefighter has many classic attributes with long stems for cutting and an intense old rose fragrance. Firefighter was the first sponsorship rose for the “Remember Me” garden fund with a portion from the sale of each rose going toward the memorial effort to honor the memory of the victims of September 11th. | ||
Even miniatures get into the act. With clusters of bright cherry red blooms, Ruby Ruby™ may be smaller in stature but big in the color department. The glossy, deep green foliage make for a Christmassy combination and with built in resistance to disease Ruby Ruby is also easy to care for. Showcasing lasting color and a sweet juniper fragrance Warm & Fuzzy™ is perfect for borders and other areas where you need rich color. The color refuses to fade and even performs better with a little heat. This is just a sampling of many different red roses offered by Weeks Roses.
