Rose of the Month
~ January 2005
Magic Lantern
This month we've chosen a beautiful Grandiflora by the name
of Magic Lantern. You might also know it as Remy
Martin. It was introduced in 1995 as a sport of Gold
Medal. The ARS gives it a 7.8 rating and classifies it
as an orange blend but it has been described as apricot, orange
pink and orange yellow. Must be magic indeed! The large double
blooms repeat after a spring later in the season. The plant
grows upright to around 5 feet tall. Hardy only to Zone 6
it does need winter protection but it has proven to be disease
resistant with a little help from a regular spray program.
