Here’s a historical overview of High Country Roses written by my step-sister Heather a few years back, enjoy. A History of High Country Roses by Heather Campbell This article was recently published by the Rocky Mountain District of the American Rose Society. Many long-time Colorado gardeners remember the High Country Rosarium, a quaint office
Floribunda (Ralph S. Moore, United States, 1990)
A charming addition to the garden. Semi-double blossoms (15–20 petals) are white edged with red and are borne freely all summer in large clusters. A bushy plant reaching 2½ to 3 feet tall and wide. Can be grown in the garden or in a large pot.
Miniature / Moss (Ralph S. Moore, United States, 1988)
This is one of the most unique roses I have ever come across. Scarlet Moss is a miniature / moss rose with intense medium red flowers that are a stark contrast to its abundant emerald green. Heavily mossed buds are a show by themselves. Some detect a cinnamon fragrance.
