Weeks Roses
·
Imagine Weeks’ famous Fourth of July rose in shades of purple.
Now you’re getting the concept….a whole new color when it comes to
Climbers.
·
Although they’re distantly related, this
newest offspring blooms in even larger, more pyramid-shaped clusters of flowers
and doesn’t have nearly the thorns.
·
Set all these great colors against bright
clean Granny Smith-green foliage and you’ve got a killer combination for any
fence, wall or trellis.
·
Vigorous & free-flowering…it repeat
blooms readily in the very first year.
