Star Roses and Plants receives American Garden Rose Selections awards
Star Roses and Plants has received three awards from the 2025 American Garden Rose Selections (AGRS) testing program. AGRS reportedly recognizes roses that are easy to care for, disease-resistant and suitable for different regions of the country.
The 2025 AGRS winners are:
Blushing Drift – a Regional Choice Winner in all six regions.
Blushing Drift displays attractive, double, pink flower clusters with a warm, yellow center. Its compact size, disease resistance and heavy blooming make it a stunning and reliable landscape choice.
Ruby Red – a Regional Choice Winner in four regions: North Central, Northwest, South Central and Southwest.
Ruby Red is a compact rose that blooms heavily. The flower color is dark red and non-fading against dark green, glossy foliage. It stands out beautifully in the garden and makes an excellent container presentation.
Veranda Fiesta – a Regional Choice Winner in three regions: Northwest, South Central and Southwest.
Veranda Fiesta has a very strong, bright flower color, which contrasts nicely against dark green, glossy foliage. It is a heavy bloomer and performs well in containers or as a low hedge in the garden.
All roses entered into the AGRS are tested for two years in six different geographical regions, each containing two test gardens. Additional characteristics that are evaluated include: vigor, foliage proportion, plant habit, flowering effect, rebloom habit, bloom form, aging quality of blooms, fragrance and hardiness.
