The Selection Note
Its spreading habit and warm color make a distinctive combination. In our Vermont garden planting, Sonoran Desert showed strong branching, clustered bloom and particularly clean foliage. It was one of the shrub roses that stood out in that evaluation.
Selected by FrancisRegional observationsAn exceptional plant for the Northeast. In Vermont it gave encouraging coverage, strong branching and particularly clean foliage through the season. Bred by an amateur breeder in the Pacific Northwest, where it performed very well in his own garden, it has carried that performance into our evaluations as a ground-cover rose of real merit.
