ARROYO GRANDE, CA – Magic Show™ (BENjets) has won the Gold Medal award at the Pageant of Roses Garden in Rose Hill Memorial Park in Whittier, California. Rose Hills is approximately 1,400 acres of property and is considered the largest single-operated cemetery in the world. The Pageant of Roses Garden opened in 1986, spanning 3.4 acres and is the largest rose trial in the United States
This award winning mini-flora rose was hybridized by the well respected rose hybridizer, Frank Benardella . Magic Show™ features white petals with a red edge and white reverse. Borne mostly solitary, the 2-inch diameter flowers bloom in flushes throughout the season. Magic Show™ displays glossy, dark green foliage and performs excellent as both a potted plant and a garden rose.
"No magic was used to win this award!" says Bill DeVor, General Manager for Greenheart Farms. "Magic Show has excellent color and exceptional form and habit. It’s one of many outstanding, award-winning rose varieties that we have in our program."
Magic Show™ also was a 2010 Award of Excellence winner for the American Rose Society and will be part of a new mini-flora collection beginning in spring 2011.
