Notes:
  • “We all love Sally Holmes, and Night Owl delivers the same bloom power and vigor in a more dramatic package. These wine-purple blooms emit a spicy clove fragrance with a hint of sweetness. The blooms emerge quickly and remain on the canes longer than others, maintaining their deep color throughout the season. Expect flushes of blooms throughout the season from this vigorous rose.” --- Jackson & Perkins website, www.jacksonandperkins.com

  • “Tom Carruth, who has worked for Jackson & Perkins, Armstrong Roses and Weeks Rose Growers, has created more than 100 rose varieties, including eleven All-America Rose Selections (AARS). He is currently the E.L. and Ruth B. Shannon Curator of the Rose Collections at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California.” ---  (Wilkipedia), “List of Rose Breeders”, Retrieved February 2021.

  • In addition to ‘Night Owl’, the Laura Conyers Smith Garden has many of his roses, ‘Fourth of July’, ‘Home Run’, ‘Marilyn Monroe’, ’Memorial Day’, ‘About Face’, ‘Julia Child’, Cinco de Mayo’ and ‘Strike it Rich’.
