I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

‘Cherry Parfait’ Grandiflora Rose
‘Cherry Parfait’ Grandiflora Rose
2003 All-American Rose Selection Winner
This finishes up my little section on AARS roses. I finally posted a rose that isn’t a Hybrid Tea. ‘Cherry Parfait’ has a mild fragrance and a petal count of about 40. It was bred in France by Meilland Roses and introduced to the US in 2003 by Conrad-Pyle. I haven’t cultivated it myself but there would always be room in my garden for a specimen. I would grow it for the different color shadings alone. My project of trying to photograph all of the All-American Rose Selections has shown me just how sophisticated and cosmopolitan roses have become.
