'Peachy Keen ®' rose Reviews & Comments
-
-
It's been a cute rose. Healthier and better looking than Blushing KO or Pink KO, with a much better plant shape. Not quite as aesthetic as Bubble Double, but healthier for diseases other than black spot. I think the only negative thing about it is that the color is not really peach. It has some light yellow and peach tints when its cool, but it's mostly a seashell spectrum of pinks. Blooms are fairly organized and not with awkwardly random petals, which is a plus.

Star Roses distributes this variety so it should soon be available from both big box stores and local nurseries.

Alas, all the good blackspot resistant, quick repeating, great habit roses that I create are often triploids that are often difficult to use in breeding. Peachy Keen is one of them. The secret is that they are difficult, not impossible. Think of some of the descendants from the Knock Out clan like Thrive, Oso Easy Double Red, Cardinal Kolorscape, Home Run, etc.

Given your response, I'll plan on using Peachy Keen as a pollen parent much as I've done with some of your other triploid varieties. Thank you for the input Will.
