"Many gardeners find unusual colored roses of interest. One English rose breeder, le Grice, specialized in producing roses of unusual coloring of deep purple to tan and beige and nearly brown. Others have used his unique roses in their breeding. Rarely does a breeder get something of unusual color by accident. The roses we include here are striking examples of unique coloring. Each would make a singular conversation piece in your garden."

I love the Champagne Cocktail rose! I am not so sure about the Oranges & Lemons....maybe mixed sparingly in a bouquet........
Hot Cocoa is beautiful, too.
