  Have you ever thought about adding a second story onto your rose garden?  With Weeks tree roses you can have more showy, fragrant blossoms without adding space to your yard.  Weeks tree roses are available in heights of 48”, 36” and 24”.  A selection of miniature roses on 18” trunks add an additional option for gardeners with small spaces to fill.   
   
   
 

The 48” rose trees are available in 14 different varieties and will truly bring your roses to new heights.  Weeks only selects roses known for their weeping, cascading or full figured characteristics to showcase atop these tall trunks.

Over 60 unique roses (including 25 All-America Rose Selections winners) are found gracing the tops of Weeks 36” rose trees.  These trees are a perfect size to add height above annual or perennial gardens.  Six new roses are available this year including the scarlet-white bi-colored blossoms of Topsy Turvy.  The whirling clusters of flowers bloom early and are quick to repeat.

  In addition to the standard 36” trees, Weeks has five “Twofers”, combining two different rose varieties in one tree.  Each combination is carefully selected to offer an incredible display through the year.  The ice white radiant blooms of Iceberg are paired in two different trees with her sports, Burgundy Iceberg and Brilliant Pink Iceberg.  With blooms of matching size and style yet creating striking contrast of color these two-toned ice princesses are sure to freeze you in your tracks as you walk through your garden.

If you are seeking the perfect accent for a patio or along a walkway Weeks has 25 different trees available on compact 24” trunks.  These roses work well in containers with smaller flowers around their base.  Many popular roses in a variety of colors are available in this size.

Finally a petite selection of miniature roses are available as 18” trees.  Christian Bedard, hybridizer for Weeks Roses advises, “Mini’s work well in rock gardens and in other small gardens.”  He also recommends using them next to entrances where larger plants may grow and take up too much space.  Colors span from the playful white of Gourmet Popcorn to the cherry colored clusters on Ruby Red.
