There’s always a certain timelessness about a rose garden. They bring not only elegance but also order, fragrance, and atmosphere. Few plants are versatile enough to perform that way—roses can be espaliered or trellised over fences and arbors, massed as sculptural shrubs, or fit easily into blended perennial borders. Their shapes range from small miniatures to vigorous climbers, and their color range runs from soft pastels to deep reds, rich mauves, and cream-colored ivories.

April & Ashley has announced the relaunch of the sold-out Barbra’s Baby rose bush as a limited release potted rose bush after the immediate sell-out of the bare root version named by and after celebrity Barbra Streisand.
