resistance and winter hardiness and will make a wonderful addition to almost any landscape. In
our test container, we found its fragrance wonderful!
R
Radiant Perfume (2005)
Hybrid Tea: Bush
Perfect match of color and fragrance! Large, long stems, beautifully formed, golden yellow
freshens a room or garden with strong lemony scent. Glossy, dark green foliage and reddish new
leaves and stems are a striking complement. A “must have” yellow rose to 5’. Disease resistant.
Rainbow Knock Out (2007)
New for 2007!
Shrub: Bush
2007 A-A winner. This member of the Knock Out family covered with coral pink blooms, rich
yellow centers. Compact and floriferous than other Knock Outs but with the same great black spot
resistance and good resistance to mildew and rust. Will set hips in autumn for winter color.
Rainbow Sorbet (2006)
Floribunda: Bush, Tree
Shades of bright yellow, orange and red finish a stunning yellow-pink. Long stems that are perfect
for cutting, they will bring instant pizzazz to your bouquets and your garden all season long. A
medium-sized shrub with an upright habit and glossy, dark green leaves. Disease resistant.
Red Eden (2004)
Romantica, Large-flowered Climber
Large, old fashioned, mildly fragrant roses in deep burgundy cover this vigorous climber from
spring through fall. Growing to 10' +, it's perfect for small gardens, lamp posts, and gazebos. Sure
to be the "latest thing" in rose gardening. The blooms have been non-stop in our test container.
Remember Me (1984)
Hybrid Tea: Bush
Freely produced blooms have an unusual color - warm cinnamon tan blushing to deep rusty
orange with a subtle blending of yellow - and a rich fragrance reminiscent of fruit and spice.
Glossy, green foliage on a 4 x 3_’, upright, bushy plant.
*Renae (1954)
Climbing Floribunda: Tree
This climbing floribunda has been grafted to make a lovely weeping tree. The ruffled, very double,
cotton candy pink flowers are sweetly fragrant and cover the long pendulous branches. The
nearly thorn less stems will cascade 3' - 4'. Available in spring only.
Rhapsody in Blue (2006)
New for 2007!
Shrub: Bush
No other rose color is like this one. Nearly true-blue blossoms open wide to show a little white at
the center and a cluster of yellow stamens. Some petals have a streak of white at the midline.
The flowers are set against grey-green leaves and have a moderate, spicy fragrance. The shrub
has an upright, bushy, pillar form. This remarkable beauty demands moderate temperatures to
look its best.
Ronald Reagan Rose (2004)
Hybrid Tea: Bush
Whitish-pink buds edged in red open to large, light red blooms with crisp white reverse.
Outstanding in floral arrangements. Light, sweet fragrance; disease resistant. A fitting tribute to
one of our most beloved presidents. 10% of net sales donated to the Ronald Reagan Presidential
Foundation to sustain the Reagan Library and Museum. A customer favorite.
S
Sally Holmes (1976)
Large-flowered Climber
This very popular, award winning climber bears huge clusters of apricot buds and creamy white,
single flowers that resemble hydrangea heads. Just one branch will fill a large vase. It has large,
glossy, deep green leaves on stiff, upright stems to 12 ft. With light pruning, it can be held to a 6’,
well-structured specimen. Vigorous, disease resistant, and very free flowering.
Secret (1992)
Hybrid Tea: Bush, Tree
1994 All-America winner. Long, elegant buds open to large, classic, high centered blooms of
creamy ivory edged in coral pink, changing to deep rose as the bloom matures. Their strong spicy
fragrance never fails to attract attention. An abundance of glossy, dark green foliage.
September Mourn (2003)
Floribunda: Bush, Tree
‘September Mourn’ is a spectacular white Floribunda that’s an offspring of ‘Iceberg’, but even
prettier in Lorena's opinion. Bouquet-worthy blossoms set off by dark, disease resistant foliage. I
saw it in the heat of the Central Valley looking absolutely lovely. A compact 3’ shrub, it can be
grown in containers or as a low hedge. Royalties from the sale will be donated to the Disaster
Relief Fund of the Salvation Army.

Large, single blooms in huge clusters of showy swirls and stripes of ever-changing pastel pink,
yellow, and cream, carried on old and new wood for repeat blooming, have a moderate fragrance
of fresh-cut apples. Climbing canes reach 8-12' with very glossy, bright green leaves and nearly
lime-green new growth. Sale contributes to “Remember Me” garden fund to honor victims of 9/11.
Social Climber (2004)
Large-flowered Climber
Deep pink buds unfurl into Hybrid-Tea-type flowers that soften in tone as they mature. Has a
spicy scent and are beautiful to fresh-cut bouquets. It will clamber up garden structures or along
fences and will keep them covered in fragrant blossoms from spring until fall. Disease resistant.
Sombreuil (1850)
Antique Climbing Tea
A gem among Antique roses, that offers creamy white, extremely double blooms with an
occasional touch of rose and yellow. Sweet tea fragrance and vigorous growth 10-12’+. Good
resistance to disease. The two in my garden climb up a large arbor with Clematis. What a show!
Spellbound (2006)
Hybrid Tea: Bush
Quite likely the best cutting rose to date. Large, high-centered flowers in spellbinding, deep coral
to pink bloom atop long, exceptionally strong stems. The petals are unquestionably among the
thickest so they will last for weeks in the garden and in the vase. Grows to 5'; disease resistant.
St. Patrick (1996)
Hybrid Tea: Bush, Tree
1996 A-A winner. Loads of chartreuse-shaded buds spiral to yellow-gold flowers. Grey-green
foliage completes the picture. Heat brings out the novel color and best form. This is a beautiful
yellow rose for the cutting garden and for leaving on the bush. What a beauty! Disease resistant.
Sterling Silver (1957)
Hybrid Tea: Bush
The first of the lavender hybrid teas and still one of the best. The silvery mauve color is very
beautiful and very different from other roses. Classic, medium-large, double blooms have a sweet
citrus and fruit fragrance. Good cut flowers that look especially stunning in silver or pewter vases.
A 3-4’, well-branched, rounded bush covered with disease resistant, glossy, dark green foliage.
Strike It Rich (2007)

Sundance (2004)

J & P - 2004 Rose of the Year. The high-centered, deep golden buds burst into fully opened, sunlike flowers rimmed in vivid orange-pink. The vigorous, well-branched bush shows off these raretoned gems to their utmost advantage. Continuously blooming with a light, sweet fragrance.
Disease resistant, dark green foliage, 5-5_’ tall. A nursery favorite in our test container.
Sweet Promise (2007)

Valencia (1989)
Hybrid Tea: Bush
‘Valencia’ produces large buds and blooms of creamy yellow/apricot with copper undertones.
Always a staff favorite, Valencia has a strong, fruity fragrance and is long lasting as a cut flower.
The petals have so much substance they feel like velvet. The dark green foliage has good
resistance to disease. For a lovely combination, plant it with ‘Neptune’ or ‘Silver Star’.
Vavoom (2007)
New for 2007!
Floribunda: Bush, Tree
Beautifully formed blossoms glow with the luscious color of orange juice. Put that gleaming
orange against deep mahogany red new growth and glossy green leaves, give it a moderate
spicy fragrance, and you've got a winner for the landscape. The rounded, compact plant can tuck
into limited space.
Voluptuous (2005)
Hybrid Tea: Bush

and long-lasting in bouquets. Upright habit to 5', glossy dark green foliage, disease resistant, light
sweet fragrance.
*Voodoo (1984)

perfume. An extremely vigorous bush clothed in very glossy, dark green foliage. A disease
resistant, easy-to-grow plant that gives the best color and performance with warmer weather. 6' +

spicy fragrance and are carried on long stems with deep green, very glossy foliage.
Weeping China Doll (1977)
Polyantha: Tree
The beloved China Doll gives clusters of ruffled pink blossoms on longer, slender stems. It
reminds me of a weeping cherry, but blossoms all summer! The longer the canes are allowed to
grow the more beautiful it becomes. Apple-green foliage adds to the beauty. Disease resistant.
Welcome Home (2007)
New for 2007!

climb 10-12’.
White Majesty (2006)
Hybrid Tea: Bush
This mutation of the very popular florist rose, ‘Paris d' Yves St Laurent’, is one of the very few

glossy foliage. Long, strong stems for cutting, offer an extraordinarily display in garden or vase.
World War II Memorial (2000)

Rose Categories Demystified
Here at Yamagami’s, we arrange our roses into these categories:
BUSH-TYPE ROSES
ANTIQUES These are the old roses from which modern varieties were developed. As
garden plants they are grown for their simple charm and beauty; they are famous for three
characteristics: fragrance robustness and flowering only once or twice in a season; exceptions
noted in descriptions.
ENGLISH or AUSTIN ROSES One of the first great breeders of the modern rose was
David Austin, an Englishman. His collection of shrub roses has come to be called the ‘Austin’ or
‘English’ roses. They were the first to bloom continuously through the season, and are still grown
for their inimitable form, color and fragrance. (N.B. In the nursery, English roses are displayed in
the Floribunda section.)
EUROPEAN ROSES include important new modern roses from European breeders,
particularly the French, such as the Meidiland and Generosa series.
HYBRID TEAS The form of the Hybrid Tea rose has become an archetype. These roses,
and no others, have overlapping petals enclosing a bud, which tends to project (i.e. “high
centered” buds). Single blossoms are produced on long stems suitable for cutting, and are often
fragrant. The plants themselves tend to be rather delicate, compared to other categories, and
average 4-6 ft in height. They are grown alone as specimens, also in beds and borders.
FLORIBUNDAS Blooms are small, borne in clusters of 5-10 flowers. The plants are
generally more robust and disease resistant than the Hybrid Teas, hence easier to care for, but
tend to be smaller, averaging 3-4’ in height. The main use of floribundas is for mass color, as few
plants of any kind can produce so much color for such a long period.
GRANDIFLORAS This relatively small and modern category represents attempts to
combine Hybrid Tea form with Floribunda munificence. Blooms resemble the Hybrid Teas in form,
but are borne in small clusters. Plants average 5-7’ in height. (N.B. In the nursery, Grandifloras
are displayed together with the Hybrid Teas.)
SHRUB ROSES In the main, shrub roses are the product of crossing various old species
roses with modern roses in order to get large, gracefully spreading plants which flower
continuously and require little attention-that is, ideal landscape shrubs. They vary tremendously in
size and character. English roses are included in this class.
MINIATURES
These are diminutive roses that seldom reach more than 3’ in height. Flowers, too, are smaller,
generally 2-3” in diameter. Their continuous bloom is great for adding color in the garden and in
containers.
CLIMBERS
“Large-Flowered Climbers” are true climbing roses. Others (which is most) are generally sports of
shrub roses-that is, chance offshoots which grow to uncommonly great lengths. All are best
grown on walls and fences, training the long canes horizontally or in a fan-like manner. In this
way, they will shoot and flower much more freely. The blossoms of many climbing varieties are
long lasting and long stemmed, making them excellent for bouquets.
TREE ROSES
Tree roses are not a true category. Almost any variety can be grown as a tree by grafting the
desired variety on top of a columnar rootstock. Hybrid Teas, Floribundas, and miniatures are
most often grown in this manner. Tree roses seem to be less susceptible to disease. This is
perhaps a result of better air circulation.
