Rainbow Sorbet

line4.gif (1411 bytes)

Rainbow SorbetTM is as cool and delicious as it sounds. This multicolor floribunda harkens back to the popular variety Playboy from which it is a descendant. More rugged and winter hardy, it shows a remarkable resistance to black spot. A symphony of bright color uninterrupted through the season, it is perfect as a single bold accent or as a border for those who like to make a statement in their garden.

Hybridized by Ping Lim, Rainbow Sorbet is being introduced by The Conard-Pyle Company/Star Roses of West Grove, PA
