The rose pictured is named Easter Basket. I grow this rose and attest to it being a delight. The creamy petals have a hint of pink to lavender with a ruffled edge. Color becomes more pink in cooler weather. The rose blooms profusely, is compact, suitable for a container, The floribunda's blooms are long lasting and can be up to 4-5 inches across. Thrives in part shade in warmer summers. The rose is very disease resistant.
The Thursday April 2, 2026 SWORS meeting will have dinner at 4:30pm at Lucky Star. The meeting will follow at Dr. Reagan's office at 1865 Thompson Road at 6PM. Dr. Reagan's office is the blue house across from Bay Clinic. Additional parking is available at Bay Clinic if the 1865 parking area is full. Coffee and dessert will be provided.
