The Brigadoon and Broadway Roses
If you’re looking for wonderful rose varieties for the cutting garden, you won’t go wrong with Brigadoon and Broadway.These are delightful cut flowers.
Brigadoon Rose
For cut flowers it is hard to beat the Brigadoon rose. The long stems are just perfect for cutting. The petals unfurl in perfect swirls. They’re a blend of pink-coral, fading to cream towards the base of the petals. These very large double blossoms are a classically shaped rose with a wonderful scent.
The deep green foliage serves to accent the flowers. This hybrid tea bush reaches five feet in height with a spread of about four feet. If this plant has a fault, it would be that Brigadoon is attractive to Japanese beetles. It is suited to zones five through eleven.
Brigadoon was introduced in 1991, and was bred by Bill Warriner. It was released by Jackson and Perkins, and was named an All-American Rose Selections winner in 1992. A repeat bloomer, its parents were an unnamed seedling and the Pristine rose. It is well on its way to being a classic variety that has gained much popularity in the nearly twenty years since its release.
