 With
flamboyant blooms in a novel blend of pink, orange, and yellow, and a delightful
peppery scent, Mardi Gras creates a festive atmosphere in any setting. Each
high-centered hybrid tea style bloom begins as an apricot-orange bud that slowly
spirals open to reveal a 4-inch bright pink and orange bloom with a yellow base.
As an All-America Rose Selections (AARS) winner, this festive floribunda has
proven to perform exceptionally well across the country with little-to-no care.
The colorful blooms are perfectly framed with dark green, semi-glossy foliage,
and its upright columnar habit makes Mardi Gras an ideal rose to use as a hedge
or in a border with mixed perennials.
Mardi Gras was hybridized by Keith Zary and is introduced by Jackson & Perkins
Wholesale, Inc. of Medford, Ore.
