  'FREEDOM' ON THE MARCH WHEN IT COMES TO ROSES

We've all heard the line from Shakespeare: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet."

Far be it for us to quibble with "The Bard," but names do matter when it comes to distinguishing among rose breeds. This certainly is the case with our standard red rose, which is anything but standard.

Known as the "Freedom" variety, it was introduced in 2004 by the rose-breeding experts at Rosen-Tantau in Germany. The pure-red Freedom rose, which is grown in South America and Mexico, is known for being a productive plant that is highly resistant to pests and diseases.

What's more for consumers, the Freedom rose makes a big impression with its deep color, size (flowers range from 5 to 7 centimeters across), and long vase life.
