With the new arch in place in the front yard, I had to go to the Antique Rose Farm in Snohomish this afternoon to get two roses for either side of the gate. I wanted something special for the entrance to the front yard.
I found a new hybrid rose calle CI. Purple Splash (cv.WEKspitrib), and they are truly unique.
They are purple and white split, and are supposed to be a great climber, reaching up to 14 feet in height. Next summer, they should be able to climb over the 10-foot arch.
The flowers are more phramid-shaped, and the rose bush has few thorns. The purple and white against Granny Smith-green makes quite a splash, and these particular hybrids are supposed to be disease-resistant.
Here they are on the cart at the Antique Rose Farm, ready to go home to their new location in Maltby.
