The Top 25 Roses, Selected by ATP MembersYou have surely wondered which of the thousands of rose cultivars are the most popular. Well, wonder no more! Here is the list of the 25 most popular roses grown by the members of All Things Plants.
| Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Oct 16, 2011 2:56 PM Hot Cocoa is one of those roses with really unusually colored blooms that one either loves or hates. Almost terracotta colored. I love it. Another thing that really stands out on this rose is the exceptional foliage. Shiny, deep green foliage needs either no or very little spraying.
