  Weeks Roses 2008AARS Winner Dream Come True

Grandiflora - Golden yellow edged & blushed with ruby

Passion can be an amazing thing.  No…not that kind of passion!  We’re talking rose passion here.  The love of the rose struck Dr. John Pottschmidt like a ton of bricks, becoming a driving force in his life.  One of his many rosy goals was to breed an AARS winner that everyone can enjoy.  Dream Come True does just that.  Its big clean vigorous bushy plant pumps out loads of long-stemmed scrumptious shapely yellow blooms edged in ruby red.  Each eye-catching flower blushes to all-ruby on the finish, giving a multi-colored display that’s truly dreamy in every way.
