ANDREA STELZER
This wonder was introduced by Kordes in 1992 but did not come onto the
American market until 1997. Rated 7.6 in the ARS Handbook for
Selecting Roses, it has won many trophies all over the globe and is a
favorite with rosarians.
It consistently produces a profusion of perfectly spiraled, high-centered
cotton candy colored blooms of absolutely stunning exhibition quality
on long and strong stems. The bush is very vigorous with an
upright growth habit set off by beautiful glossy green foliage. With
35 petals, the blooms open slowly, keep and refrigerate well, which are all
important considerations for both exhibiting roses and for cutting
blooms for the home bouquet.
Andrea Stelzer is a "must have" in every rose garden. Plant
it in front of your house to meet passersby as they will surely comment
on its beauty. It will make friends for you!
