Rose of the Month ~ August 2004

Love

'Love', along with 'Honor' and 'Cherish' was an All-America Rose Selection in 1980 for hybridizer William Warriner. It is a red blend grandiflora with an unusual silver reverse. The blooms are fragrant and exhibition form. The plant has an upright, stocky habit with many large thorns. It is hardy to Zone 5 but will do well with winter protection such as the Minnesota Tip here in Zone 4. What is your experience with Love? Rate it in the poll below.
