“Topsy Turvy” x “Julia
Child”
cv. WEKcobeju - Introduced 2009
Hybridizer – Tom Carruth
2009
A
unique floribunda with indescribable coloration, “Cinco de Mayo” was honored
with the American Rose Society Member’s Choice Award for 2011 which was awarded
to a rose with the highest garden rating in the Roses in Review, a survey among
the members of the ARS. “Cinco de Mayo”
is also an AARS Winner in 2009.
What is so remarkable about this rose is
the unique color of smokey lavender and rusty red-orange. It gets smokier when the temperature is
cool. Some called it russet but whatever
you call it, it is different and striking in the garden among other
plants. The flowers come in large
clusters and continue blooming throughout the season. Bloom size is large and ruffled, about 25 petals
with mild sweet apple scent. The foliage is medium, dark green semi-glossy
on a clean growth that is bushy; rounded and of medium height.
This seedling of Julia Child is a novel
welcome to any garden for its unique color, floriferousness and excellent disease
resistance. What more can you ask for in
a rose?
