2006
AARS Winners
Beautiful,
fragrant, disease resistant and easy
to maintain... these traits have earmarked
All-America Rose Selections winners
for 65 years. And the 2006 AARS Winners
are no exception. They're outstanding
examples of roses that have excelled
in these areas during two years of
thorough testing.

Julia
Child ™ Floribunda Destined
to be as famous as her namesake.
Personally chosen by the award-winning
chef herself, this rose combines
old-fashioned style with delicious
fragrance rarely found in a free-flowering
plant. This rose has a rounded
habit and excellent disease resistance,
raising the bar for any English-style
rose. Julia Child also features
a sweet licorice perfume that
exudes from each fully-petaled
flower, as well as a butter-gold
color that's perfectly suited
to any landscape. |

Rainbow
Sorbet ™ Floribunda As
cool and delicious as it sounds.
This multicolor floribunda harkens
back to the popular variety Playboy
from which it is a descendant.
More rugged and winter hardy,
it shows a remarkable resistance
to black spot. A symphony of bright
color uninterrupted through the
season, it is perfect as a single
bold accent or as a border for
those who like to make a statement
in their garden. |

Tahitian
Sunset ™ Hybrid Tea A
little slice of paradise. This
brightly-hued hybrid tea features
splendid blossoms starting from
high-centered, orange-yellow buds
that open fully to a peachy apricot-pink
with yellow highlights. The vigorous
plant produces 14-16" stems
and flowers with about 30 petals
to create blooms up to five inches
in diameter. With its complex
color, delightful licorice fragrance
and semi-glossy foliage, this
perfectly formed rose makes a
strong focal point in any garden.

Wild
Blue Yonder™ A journey
into uncharted territory. The
lavender blend is the first rose
in this color range to garner
the AARS designation since 1984.
Every large wavy petal is a velvety
warm wine-purple layered onto
rich lavender, making Wild Blue
Yonder a unique rose to behold.
Each lovely blossom exudes the
perfume of sweet citrus and rose.
A vigorous 'shrubby' bush, its
abundant, deep-green leaves provide
the perfect accent to the extraordinarily
novel color. |

| Now's
the time to plant bare-root roses.
You can save up to 50% by purchasing
bare-root roses versus waiting for
these same roses in planters. And
bareroot plants usually adapt better
to your garden than plants transplanted
from containers because they only
have to adjust to one type of soil...
yours! Plus, the selection is fantastic.
For example at Fred Meyer Garden Centers,
you'll find over 75 varieties to choose
from. Click here for our 3-Step-No-Fail-Plan
for Planting Bareroot Roses.
Visit
your Fred Meyer Garden Center today,
and start growing award-winning rose
plants!
While
much of the information in these tips
is applicable in several gardening
zones/climates, some of the plants
and timing suggested are best suited
to the Northwest, generally in the
mild/wet growing regions found along
the I-5 corridor. You should make
appropriate adjustments or consult
local gardening experts in regions
whose climates differ from this area
of the Northwest.
