Sweet Dream

"When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them." The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy."
Psalm 126:1-3 NIV

    "Sweet Dream" has been a phenomenally popular rose since its introduction. It is the best-selling rose in England. Over two and a half million have been sold! What makes this patio rose so appealing? For me, it's the sublime peach color of the roses, but for some it might be its versatility, disease resistance, sweet fragrance, or continuous bloom. Having all of these qualities in one shrub is a rose lover's dream-come-true!
      Perfect for mass planting, at the front of the border, or in a container. Growth is rounded and pleasing. The soft peachy-apricot color will blend well with pink, yellow, cream, white, orange, or lavender roses.
