The new Edmunds' catalog arrived in the mail today. Lady Sadie appeals to me. It's a new Weeks rose, honoring the late Sadie Jauch on her 106th birthday! It's a floribunda with a fruity fragrance. The blooms are yellow with pink edges. I love pink and yellow as a combination in rose blooms. I'll probably get this one.
As usual, the catalog is full of misinformation. Gold Struck, announced as a "2016 sneak peek" and described as a "new introduction from Meilland International," is listed on HMF as Eureka, a Meilland hybrid tea bred before 2012. Raspberry Cream Twirl, listed in the catalog as a Meilland 2013 introduction, is Ines Sastre, which was bred before 2010. Always look up the registration names on HMF to guard against buying Edmunds' renamed duplicates of roses you already own.
