Brandy

             Submitted by Lori Durbin, MG 2014

I selected this gorgeous apricot colored rose for January solely because of its color.  I have a passion for not only purple roses but the variety of “orange” colored roses as well.  In this case, Brandy has a color that is consistent in its’ blooms that I have experienced as a Brandy owner.  I also love those single stems of roses that the Hybrid Tea will give me. 

This rose is only “lightly fragrant” but well worth the beauty.
