3/28/2025 – Bought two roses at Ted and Nancy’s (now Ted’s Fruitstand) and replaced (a) the sickly rose immediately north of the white floribunda and (b) the one in the corner next to the bird feeder. Moved those to the Grain Bin.
(a) Sexy Rexy Floribunda (MACrexy) grown by Weeks Roses. Color is Coral Pink.
(b) Rose JACum Intrique Floribunda that is supposed to be dark red blooms, but the small ones at planting are not dark red. If it is what the tag says see more at Wikipedia which includes the extracted paragraphs below.
Rosa ‘Intrigue’ (aka JACum) is a mauve floribunda rose cultivar, bred by William Warriner, and introduced by Jackson & Perkins into the United States in 1982. The cultivar was named an All-America Rose Selections winner in 1984.[1]
‘Intrigue’ is a tall, lanky upright shrub, 3 to 5 ft (90–150 cm) in height, with a 2 to 3 ft (60–90 cm) spread. Blooms have an average diameter of 3.5 inches (9 cm). Flowers are purplish-red in color and fade to magenta. Flowers have a strong fragrance, and large double petals (17–25) borne in large clusters of 5 to 15 on long stems.[2] The leaves are medium in size, glossy, and dark green. The plant thrives in USDA zone 6b and warmer.[1][3]
