Memphis roses

17 years ago

I recently read about a few roses with "Memphis" in the name but I am having the hardest time finding pics or links for the roses. Any gardeners have any pics of Memphis roses....I am especially intrested in Memphis blues and Memphis Cajun.

A gentleman named Whit Wells grows roses for sale just a bit north of Memphis. He also has hybridized some really beautiful roses with the name Memphis in them.
Check anywho.com for Verlie Wells ...I think he's in Brighton. I don't think he has a website, but is an honest-to-goodness production greenhouse (MidSouth Roses) and he makes really beautiful roses.

Below is a link to a company that sells roses grown by Wells Midsouth Roses. They have both the cultivars you listed along with pictures on the site.

Here is a link that might be useful: Wells Midsouth Roses at Two Sisters Roses
