Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rosa 'Cinco de Mayo' is a Weeks shrub rose bearing unique colours of rusty reds and orange overlaid with tones of smoky lavender. 'Cinco de Mayo' has light, sweet apple fragrance and ruffly flowers. The flowers have 25 wavy petals and nice yellow stamens at the centres. A must have in any rose collector's garden, this rose is a healthy, repeat blooming, and disease-resistant shrub.
The unusual color is hard to describe -chocolate (as in red velvet cake chocolate) with a hint of smoky lavender, glazed with orangey copper. Mouth watering! Shrub floribunda rose on its own roots blooms continuously on a 2-3’ rounded bush with very disease resistant foliage. Blooms are fragrant with a crisp citrus sweet scent. This one is HOT!
Floribunda. Smoked lavender and rusty red-orange. This would certainly be a rose to catch your eye - the color is an amazing blend of smoked lavender and a rusty red-orange and yet one that blends well with colors. Coupled with that is a great freedom of flowering and a moderate sweet apple fragrance. It grows into an attractive rounded shrub. AARS Winner 2009. 4 ft. (Carruth 2009).
