Grade Info.

Grade #1.5 - Roses are a smaller classification from grade #1, but still selected with a high degree of quality. Typically marketed at a lower price point, once planted, a grade #1.5 rose will quickly reach the full potential of the variety selected.
Grade #1 - Premium bush roses and tree roses are assigned a Grade #1. These are the highest-quality plants, ready to grow and have an exceptional season in their first year. Each Grade #1 rose has an average of three "flower-ready" canes that will grow in the first season.

Mysterious, indescribable, elusive…whatever! There's just no other rose color quite like this. Pointed buds of deep rust unfurl to reveal a chocolate haze of velvety smoked tones that can even take on a purply cast. Set against gobs of glossy foliage, the ruffled fragrant flowers are mirrored by super-green leaves. Easy vigor and natural disease-resistance make it a must for every garden. Keeps on smokin' even when the weather turns warm. Only available budded.
