Introductions by "Bruce Kovach"
We live in northern Georgia about 45 miles northeast of Atlanta in Suwanee, GA. We are in zone 7a.
We have both singles and double introductions.
If you ever experience any of my doubles not doubling for you, please let me know and I will make it up to you.
We guarantee that our plants will survive and bloom double in your area. If you are not happy with any of our introductions, please let us know and we will refund your purchase price and you can keep the plant.
We have not received any complaints about our introductions at all.
(Kovach, 2011) 5 1/2", 25", Mre, Sev Tetraploid. Northern bred. Yes it is a light yellow with gold edging and teeth showing up, not covered with teeth but making good progress. This outstanding northern bred double was selected by Sandy and Jack Wolfe in my seedling bed, the light yellow double that shows teeth that are not heat dependant. This wonderfull double stands almost as tall as it is wide, pollen and pod fertile, though, pods sometimes are a little had to set. wonderfull texture, rebloomed for me three times in a pot in Georgia. This one is really special. Never bloomed single. Be warned tho, that it is a slow multiplier.

When my wife saw this seedling, she immediately said "You will name that one after me", My wife has red hair and our good friends call her "Red", so we came up with this name. Thanks, Bill. Stunning deep Christmas red double with a distinctive large gold toothy edge that covers the entire petals and raised double material. My best introduction to date. 5" bloom, 24" height, 4-way branching, 20 buds, 99% double. Tet. Semi-evergreen, reblooms. Great parent for red doubles with teeth. (The Perfect Rose x One Thorny Devil)
Orange-red double with a large, ruffled, light gold, toothy edge with lots of large teeth. This introduction is one great parent! It basically was the parent that really got my toothy double program going. While the host plant is not that super it doesn't affect its offspring when brought to a stronger plant. It doesn't always bloom double, but when it does WOW. What it always passes on is TEETH.
It usually keeps its 3-way branching in the offspring. A MUST plant for those hybridizers that are working on a toothy double program. 5.75", 22 inches, 75% double Semi-evergreen, Midseason, reblooms18 buds, (Prickly All Over x Twice The Bite)
