Eastern Snowball Bush
Eastern Snowball Bush
Viburnum Opulus Roseum
Masses of pure white snow-ball like flower clusters make a showy display each summer. Bright green leaves have a purplish red fall color. This makes a spectacular landscape specimen. This deciduous bush grows in full sun to part shade. Can grow to 12 ft. tall by 10 ft. wide, and is hardy to minus 30 degrees fahrenheit.

Roses have ARRIVED!!!
Our shipment of roses have arrived. I will be adding a description and pictures as I have time. Here is this year's list:
Hot Cocoa
Gardeners will be debating the color of Hot Cocoa, a very novel brownish-orange Floribunda washed with smoke on the top and a deep rusty orange on the underside. How about “smoky chocolate orange?”
In any case, people of all ages are attracted to Hot Cocoa, whose pointed buds of deep rust unfurl to reveal the color that some call “cinnamon brown” and which often takes on a purply cast.

Memorial Day
Like the holiday of the same name, Memorial Day is truly worth celebrating. Expertly representing the most popular class of modern roses — hybrid tea — this medium-tall, upright and bushy variety features very large, full, spiraled blooms with more than 50 petals per flower. Evolving from pointed and ovoid buds, Memorial Day’s clear pink flowers are accented with a lavender wash and grow to up to 5 inches in diameter. Its long cutting stems are beautifully clothed with rich green foliage to accent the large blossoms.
With its classic, strong damask rose fragrance, a single Memorial Day rose can fill an entire room with sweet rose perfume. A vigorous and productive performer, Memorial Day is highly disease resistant and especially loves hot weather, particularly for unfurling its commemorative rose petals. It makes a great, easy-to-grow addition to any garden.
Perfume Delight
Midas Touch
Midas Touch makes a regal entrance with its stately stature and gleaming yellow petal crowns. A hybrid tea growing upright to 5 feet, its 4-inch flowers sit dramatically above dark green, semi-glossy foliage. Jack Christensen hybridized this medium musk scented rose from Brandy and Friesensohne.
St. Patrick
The luck of the Irish blesses the 5-inch flowers of St. Patrick, a rose distinguished by its unique color. Chartreuse buds unfurl slowly (unusual for yellow roses) to reveal a yellow gold flower. As the temperature rises, St. Patrick becomes tinged with shades of green. This vigorous hybrid tea has long, upright stems graced with grey green foliage and is perfect for indoor bouquets. Introduced by Weeks Roses, St. Patrick was hybridized by Frank Strickland, one of the few amateurs ever to win the AARS award. The rose is an offspring of Brandy and Gold Medal.
Touch of Class
Brandy
About Face
A very novel 'backwards' bicolor whose lighter color of deep golden yellow is carried on the inside of the petals with a darker bronzy orange-red backside. Usually, bicolors have the lighter color on the outside of the petal & a darker inside.
Plump pointed buds open to full old-fashioned blossoms. As the flowers mature, they blush & blend through a very pleasing array of colors all the way to the very finish. This tall super-vigorous plant yields long stems lush with clean deep green leaves. Easy-to-grow & loaded with color.

Chrysler Imperial
Crimson Bouquet
This beautiful bright red rose produces brilliant clusters of flowers offset by glossy deep green foliage. The plant is well shaped and not as tall as most grandiflora, but is way above average resistance to common rose diseases.Mister Lincoln
