Florence Delattre
Tiny sepia toned violet roses with fully double petals, most always grouped together on a single stem. Repeat blooms all season. Strong spicy fragrance. Please note: we have very few plants... when these are blooming, snap them up before someone else does! Perfect for nosegays and smaller bouquets… it has unparalleled color.

Fragrant Cloud
Exceptional aroma as the name suggests. A Gamble fragrance award winner in a fabulous deep coral color…blooms less frequently than most modern hybrid tea roses, but when it does, grab the blooms for your design needs.

Fragrant Plum
Lavender high pointed blooms with a touch of elusive blue. This is a Grandiflora rose which means floribunda on steroids. Lots of blooms per stem on a tall, disease resistant plant with unbelievable fragrance. This is a lovely cut flower, however you are trading fragrance for vase life. Don’t expect more than a couple of days in a vase, but this is truly a gorgeous rose.

Francois Rabelais
A floribunda, each stem is loaded with long lasting blossoms. Here is your Chinese red fully petaled rose for designing! They are a bit fragile so handle with care. Typically there are enough blooms on a stem so that if you lose a few in transport, it’s not the end of the road (or stem)!

Frederic Mistral
A light mauve pink, perfectly formed hybrid tea flower with multiple tightly formed petals. Fragrance is outstanding, extremely potent and fruity. When these are in bloom, the air is heavy with notes of old rose, citrus, and spice.

Generous Gardner
This is a short climbing rose with estimated heights from 8 to 10 feet. There is a soft pink at the center with an even lighter shade pink at the outer petals.
It has strong, elegantly arching growth with polished dark green foliage. There is a strong and delicious fragrance with aspects of Old Rose, musk and myrrh.

Gertrude Jekyll
Beautiful bright/hot pink full petal bloom, very thin petals and the perfect ‘old rose’ fragrance. Upright plant allows for tall stems as a cut. Very thorny but worth it!!

Golden Celebration
One of my favorite roses ever! Rich golden yellow with a citrusy fragrance. These last well in a vase and can have multiple blooms on a stem! Actually, one stem can equal a perfect arrangement. Great, disease resistant plant with very few thorns!

Heaven On Earth
A floribunda with unusual fully cupped blossoms that start out dark apricot and fade to a perfect pastel pink. A strong, vigorous, and disease resistant plant. This is an excellent choice for the garden, although the plant stays very low to the ground. It is a very long lasting cut rose! The green tone in the buds is actually chlorophyll. The cuts will continue to open even after they are removed from their food source. We can’t think of another rose we grow that has this quality.

Heirloom
Magenta buds open to tones of lilac & lavender. Great cutting rose, each stem can have large individual blooms or clusters of smaller blooms. Great plant, but it’s the fragrance that gets you... some say ripe raspberries, others say wine and apples! Does best in cool temperatures.

Heritage
Gorgeous light pink color. Although not a great repeater in the garden, the gorgeous medium sized blooms (practically thornless) make it a wonderful cut rose for design work! David Austin.

Honey Dijon
Flowers the color of honey mustard with beautiful sepia undertones. Medium to large petals and fabulous vase life! Blooms throughout the season on long, straight stems. Can be used for the garden, hedge, or shrub, but particularly great as a cut flower. They blend with almost any home interior! Very vigorous.

Hot Cocoa
A highly fragrant floribunda from Tom Carruth. The color is hard to describe. We say it’s a deep russet or brown with orange & violet tones. How is that even possible? You will have to see for yourself. A winner in our book and a delightfully easy rose to care for in the garden.

Intrigue
A fragrant floribunda with plum purple flowers grouped atop virtually thornless canes. Blooms fade to a deep grey purple. Color unlike any other. Not a terrific plant in the garden, but unbeatable in the vase!

Isabel Renaissance
Red/black velvet blooms that will get dust on them before dying in the vase. AMAZING vase life for a cut garden rose. Not a great repeater but if you are lucky enough to get these when they are blooming, they will not disappoint! Great full shape, slight fragrance and tall sturdy stems. Can’t find the plants any more, but we are still trying!

Jardins De Bagatelle
A hybrid tea with creamy blooms of incredible fragrance. One of our favorites for the scent alone. Needs heat to open fully, be careful in the coastal regions. Definitely worth a try!

Jean Giono
Vibrant rose, starts bright yellow with superb tangerine colored veining throughout. When it is fully open, it is orange! Lots and lots of petals and the plant is disease resistant, and vigorous! The spicy fruit fragrance will delight, but honestly, it’s the color... there is really nothing like it.

Johann Strauss
Wonderful fragrance on this huge blush pink floribunda. The flowers are double and large (very unusual size for a typical floribunda) and there can be 3 to 7 per stem... seriously, one stem is a huge bouquet! The fragrance is sweet and unique and will saturate a room instantly. An easy rose to grow, disease resistant and vigorous! In hotter climates, the blush tends toward ivory.

Jubilee Celebration
Large David Austin rose, domed flowers are of a lovely rich salmon-pink with tints of gold on the underside of the petals. Blooms are held elegantly, well above the foliage. Vigorous grower with fruity scent and hints of fresh lemon and raspberry.

Jude the Obscure
A magnificent English rose by David Austin. Flowers are very large with an incurved chalice shape. Color is a neutral and pleasing buff/chamois. It has excellent, strong and almost completely disease-free growth. This rose is particularly fine in a dry climate, although it may ball in the rain.

Julia Child
Julia Child was ‘family’ here at Rose Story Farm. She had always been a yellow rose aficionado and when she decided she would like her own rose, she wanted yellow of course! She chose this perfect yellow bloom from our test garden. It fades to a warm butter tone and some even say it smells like butter! We think it smells like licorice, but clearly, it’s all in the nose of the beholder. When hybridizer Tom Carruth decided to name this flower after the famed personality, we created an entire garden dedicated to this rose and of course, to it’s namesake. The plant is a frequent bloomer and hardy, catalogs say to 3 feet, although we see many close to 5 feet in our corner of the universe. In 2006 Julia Child was the winner of the AARS Award. This is a great rose for a beginning rose enthusiast! ‘Bullet proof’ we like to say.
