Rose recommendations for pressing

Posted by Phyllis_Leathers z5/centralNYS (My Page) on

We love growing roses especially (and wildflowers too).
We have one single petal rose called "Greetings" from Jackson and Perkins, and it presses in my homemade microwave press very well, with great color retention.
I am looking for advice on other single or semi-double roses that I could grow which would be good for pressing for notecards etc. Any suggestions? Thanks. :0) Phyl

You have to try "Robin Hood" It's a single petal red rose that blooms all summer and well into the fall. The color is great, it stays a nice bright red and doesn't fade much over time. I 'think' I got it from Spring Hill, but I'm not certain, I've been pressing this rose for almost 15 years.

Another good one is "The Fairy" it's a pink miniature rose that blooms profusely all season, mine grows to about 3' tall with a spread of about 5'
