HYBRID TEA ROSES
A large blossom on a long single stem. The classic romantic rose. A cross between hybrid perpetual roses and old-fashioned tea roses. They are considered the most popular rose in the world and perhaps the most popular flower. Upright, well-branching habit.
Ball Gown (Romantica Series)
Hybrid Tea - Growth Habit: 6 ft tall, 3 ft wide - Own Root at Sky in 2024
This intensely fragrant rose checks all the boxes for a new variety that’s bound to become an instant classic. The full, medium pink flowers boast 100 petals per bloom and will grace your garden throughout the summer months. They also make beautiful, long-lasting additions to cut floral arrangements. Bred by Meilland roses and provided to us through Star Roses Nursery, this 2024 introduction has the excellent disease resistance characteristic of many modern roses.
Maui Sunrise
Hybrid Tea - Growth Habit: 4 ft tall, 3 ft wide
Strikingly fragrant with notes of citrus and honey, the alluring scent of these roses will transport you to paradise from across the garden. Golden peach blooms dipped in pink are reminiscent of a stunning tropical sunrise, and shift in color as the weather changes throughout the blooming season. Lightly ruffled edges to the petals bring a fullness to the bloom, that only adds to the striking contrast against glossy green foliage. This variety offers excellent disease resistance and comes to us from Certified Roses. Formerly known as ‘Diane Loomer.’

FLORIBUNDA
This variety's small flowers have the appearance of elegant hybrid tea blooms but they are grouped together in clusters instead of one flower to a stem. Smaller plant than hybrid teas, but often larger than the shrub roses.
PowerPuff Pink
Floribunda - Growth Habit: 4 ft tall, 2 ft wide - Own Root at Sky in 2024
Moderately scented with hints of lemongrass, this rose is designed to grab your attention with its shocking electric pink color. Its peony-like blooms cluster in typical floribunda style of approximately four to seven blooms per stem and are a great attractant for many pollinators. Bred by Dr. James Sproul and sent to us from Star Roses Nursery, this variety has shown great disease resistance since its release and is still fairly uncommon to retail nurseries.
GRANDIFLORA
The grandiflora is a result of crossing a floribunda with a hybrid tea rose. One of the most popular rose types, especially known for large, showy blooms. The flower form of a hybrid tea rose but in clusters like the floribunda rose. Larger plant than hybrid tea roses.
Miss Manners
Grandiflora - Growth Habit: 5 ft tall, 3 ft wide
This graceful rose has a moderately fruity scent and an old-fashioned English style appearance. With full, deep pink blossoms that typically bloom in singles, but occasionally a double grouping, it makes a great choice for border planting and cut flowers.. With great hardiness and disease resistance, this rose will produce from late spring into summer - even in partial shade conditions! Bred by Tom Carruth for 2024, we receive these lovely roses from Weeks Roses Nursery.
Quest for Zest
Grandiflora - Growth Habit: 4 ft tall, 3 ft wide
A strong citrus-lemon scent and glowing yellow color are perfectly married in this new rose. These four to five inch spiraled blooms are intensely yellow in the center and pale to nearly white at their edges. A vigorous grower with good disease resistance, this one makes a stunning cut rose for your home arrangements. Newly released for 2024 by breeder Christian Bédard, we’re excited to see this one for ourselves when it arrives from Weeks Roses Nursery.
SHRUB ROSES
Shrub roses are bred to be the easiest-care choices in the rose field. Flower shape ranges from single to tea rose to very full, and the growth habit can be anywhere from groundcover to tall. So you can pick a shrub rose to fit any garden need!
Orange Glow Knockout
Shrub - Growth Habit: 5 ft tall, 3 ft wide - Own Root at Sky in 2024
This is a rose that catches your eye and draws you in. Lightly scented, it takes a closer look to catch all of its hues - a luminescent orange suffused with coral, yellow, and pink. These intriguing blooms provide color from spring to frost and make a great hedge or border plant. Bred by Will Radler of Knockout series fame and provided to us by Star Roses Nursery, we hope you’ll come check this new 2024 variety out!
True Inspiration
Shrub - Growth Habit: 5 feet tall, 3 feet wide
With a unique peppery moderate scent, this rose has dark pink blooms that flower from spring into autumn. Characterized as ‘double-peony-like,’ these richly colored blooms are disease resistant and versatile, performing well in hedges, garden beds and containers alike. This variety has a great reputation for being low maintenance and easy to care for, and would be a great choice if you want growing roses to be an inspired, breezy affair.

Cosmic Clouds
Shrub - Growth Habit: 6 ft tall and wide
This rose is outstanding in both aroma and color, presenting a strong fruity scent and rich magenta pink - almost violet - petals with a unique pure white reverse. It produces these full blooms in clusters of three to ten flowers and makes a great cut flower for your home. It has great disease and pest resistance and even does well in partial shade. We can’t wait to see this fun new 2024 variety when it blooms!
Pink Freedom
Shrub - Growth Habit: 6 ft tall, 4 ft wide - Own Root at Sky in 2024
As Washingtonians, perhaps we are especially equipped to appreciate the mild ‘apple fragrance’ of this traditional-looking rose. Blooms vary from salmon to medium-pink with a cheerful yellow center, and span about three and half inches across. Typically a heavy bloomer from late spring into autumn, the flowers are highly attractive to both pollinators and people and are excellent in floral arrangements. Hardy and highly disease resistant, this variety makes attractive, high-performance borders and hedges when pruned regularly. This rose won several awards in 2022, including the American Garden Rose Selections Regional Choice Award for the Northwest.
DAVID AUSTIN ROSES
The look and fragrance of Old Garden roses with the repeat-flowering ability and wide color range of modern roses. The blooms are known for their layers and layers of ruffled petals that make them stand out from standard roses.
Elizabeth
Shrub - David Austin - Growth Habit: 5 ft tall and wide
This aristocratic English rose is named after Queen Elizabeth II in honor of her 2022 Platinum Jubilee. It has a strong, sweet scent and full, medium-sized flowers that grow in clusters. The pale pink blooms, with a delicate light golden center, will fade to nearly white as they age, presenting a variety of delicate shades all summer long. This rose is fabulously versatile! It does well in containers as a statement plant, or shaped as a hedge or border. It is hardy in exposed, windy areas and in partial shade.
Eustacia Vye
Shrub - David Austin - Growth Habit: 4 ft tall, 3 ft wide
If you’re looking for an English rose with a romantic bent, this is an excellent option! Along with a strong, fruity fragrance, these full, delicately ruffled blooms have a radiant apricot center that melts into medium pink. Clusters of multiple flowers fade to lighter shades of pink over time, and make for excellent additions to floral arrangements. Eustacia is fast-growing, does well as a hedge plant or in containers, and can even handle partial shade.
Nye Bevan
Shrub - David Austin - Growth Habit: 4 ft tall and wide
Lightly scented, this pale, buttery-yellow flower has a deeper color in the center, fading into cream on its scalloped, nearly heart-shaped edges. Its full ruffles and pale coloring give the blooms an airy, ‘soft feather-like appearance.’ A repeat bloomer that improves with regular deadheading, this rose does well as a border, hedge or in containers. Nye Bevan is named after the founder of Britain's National Health Services (NHS) and recognizes the people who work there and the services they provide.
