This, in my opinion, is a short list of the best varieties of roses available now to our gardener. Frankly, I had a difficult task to select the most worthy of the huge number of varieties offered on the market. I admit that someone may not agree with this choice, someone has their own favorites. But all the proposed roses have been tested among a hundred and fifty varieties growing in my garden, and were selected not so much by beauty (and they are all beautiful, ugly roses just do not happen), but by the ease of culture and its economic qualities – resistance to disease, winter hardiness, the ability to bloom profusely and long. Anyway, I can vouch for them and I’m sure they won’t disappoint you!
