" Name the Rose Contest - Dennis' 7 Dees

Official Rose of the 2010 Portland Rose Festival

"Name the Rose" Contest

This year we are looking for you to name the Official Rose.

Big pointed buds swirl open to show off seductive shades of peach, coral and salmon. But the color show doesn’t stop there. The sun starts to ‘tan’ each petal, turning them into deeper tones of orange, scarlet & burgundy. Strong, long stems make it a great addition to any cutting garden. And the clean, deep green glossy leaves are lovely in landscape, too. Disease resistant, with medium-large flowers, it has a mild fruity fragrance.

Exclusively available at Dennis’ 7 Dees Garden Centers.

Only $19.99.

For each rose sold, $2 will be donated to the Portland Rose Festival Foundation.
