Rainbows can stop traffic as people pause to enjoy the gorgeous colors stretching out across the sky. So just imagine what adding a rainbow of roses could do for your garden! As I think of my rose beds and their many shades and hues, so many rose names rush to my mind. These gorgeous plants work together to create a beautiful blooming rainbow in my own garden. Here are a few of my favorites that can no doubt bring a glowing rainbow of color to your own landscape:
Passionate Reds
Veterans’ Honor® (hybrid tea). This beauty’s got velvety red blooms with a form that makes everyone smile – and the flowers last longer on the bush and in the vase than any other rose I’ve ever had! Its fragrance is light and fruity and reminds me of fresh raspberries. The plant easily reaches 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide, so give her some room to spread out her canes for a bevy of blooms!
LiebeszauberTM (hybrid tea). This fantastic bush is a Kordes rose from Germany. Her name means “love’s magic,” which truly describes her beauty and form. The wonderfully red blooms are intense against the medium-green foliage. The plant gets to be about 6 feet tall here in my Colorado garden and is very hardy. The only drawback is a lack of fragrance (to my nose it seems to come and go from bloom to bloom and is light at best). Still, this hybrid tea adds rich blooms borne on tall canes that help form the upper arch of our rainbow.
