With so many roses to choose from, picking the right ones can feel overwhelming. To simplify the decision-making process, start by selecting award-winning varieties. Opting for roses that have earned accolades from prestigious organizations such as the All-America Rose Selections (AARS) and the American Garden Rose Selections (AGRS) ensures you’re choosing plants that have demonstrated superior quality and performance.
Since its inception in 1940, the AARS has celebrated roses known for their superior disease resistance, exceptional flower quality, and overall form, with thorough testing across diverse climates to ensure outstanding performance. The AGRS, which took over from AARS in 2016, continues this tradition by evaluating roses in official test gardens throughout the U.S. for two years, focusing on criteria such as disease resistance, bloom quality, form, and adaptability.
These roses are ideal for gardeners who want low-maintenance, high-impact plants that offer vibrant, reliable blooms season after season.
