BATON ROUGE, La. – The America Garden Rose Selections program recently announced winning varieties for 2017.
For many decades, the All-American Rose Selection trials had been the national selections program, said LSU AgCenter horticulturist Allen Owings, but as of last year they ceased to exist.
“With AARS gone, we were without a national rose trial for the first time since the 1930s,” Owings said. That led to a new program to recognize roses that are easy to care for, disease resistant and suitable for different regions of the country.
