Polyanthas

Polyantha Roses are small shrubs that provide wonderful clusters of bloom and are suited to growing in large containers.  They are not miniatures; most attain heights of 2 feet and spread even more.  They are very easy to grow and have many uses -- hedges, edgings, specimen in a container on a deck, massed groundcover, or just plain part of the landscape.  The petite flowers come in clusters with a good fragrance, and bloom at least 3 times during the season.

LITTLE WHITE PET  A pretty little plant with white flattened pompoms massed on a tidy, compact shrub to 1 1/2 by 2 feet.  Delicate pink buds, as shown here.  Health is VG

MARIE PARVIE  Also sold as M. Pavic and M. Pavie.  A sweet little rose, bushy and upright,  with dear little scrolled pinkish buds opening up to a blush white.  Wonderful fragrance.  Health is VG

 

THE FAIRY  A dead easy to grow rose -- great for the beginner.  It's healthy and vigorous, and has a most attractive natural form in the landscape.  It's growth habit is not as compact as the rest here:  I let it spread out to its full size of 2 1/2 feet by 4 feet wide.  No fragrance, but it does bloom nonstop from July 1 to November.  Health is EX

 

YVONNE RABIER  A lovely rose in the landscape.  It has rich, glossy foliage, and pure white clusters of perfect, fragrant, semi-doubles.   Health is VG
