Notes:
  • “The Impressionist gets its name from its enchanting color. Classified as a yellow blend  by the ARS, this rose presents an aurora borealis of color reminiscent of the impressionist  painters of the 19th Century. Most growers observe this rose to be a rich yellow in the spring and a pumpkin orange in the fall.  However, The Impressionist  presents more subtleties throughout the growing season, offering up a perfect blending of hues that include several shades of apricot, salmon, creamy pink, peach, coral, orange red and gold.  Its opulent, golden hues are reminiscent of the warm glow of sunlight in the first light of dawn.” --- “The Impressionist” at pacificrosesociety.org
