 ners for 1997 



'Artistry,' a vigorous hybrid tea,

upright, well-branched canes. Its 

 light fragrance makes it appropriate 

 for a cutting garden. Keith Zary of 

 lackson & Perkins hybridized this 

 rose from two unnamed seedlings. 



'Timeless' is a long-season bloom- 

 er. Its long, shapely buds take their 

 time to open, but the 4 1/2-inch, 

 deep rose-pink flowers are worth 



the wait. The 4 1/2-foot tall plant 

 has deep green, semi-glossy leaves 

 on upright, well-branched canes. 

 'Timeless' was also hybridized by 

 Keith Zary and is the offspring of an 

 unnamed seedling and 'Kardinal.' 



'Sentimental,' a free-blooming flo- 

 ribunda, offers striking burgundy 

 and cream-striped petals and a 

 sweet spice fragrance that mimics 

 the striped hybrids of the 1800s. 

 Deep green, quilted foliage accents 

 large pointed buds which open to 

 four inches. Hybridized by Tom 

 Carruth from a combination of 'Play- 

 boy' and 'Peppermint Twist' and in- 

 troduced by Weeks Roses, it is the 

 first striped rose to win the AARS 

 award.
