The American Garden Rose Selection (AGRS) judges have announced the newest roses to be selected in their testing program. This was a bountiful year. There are five new winners.
The AGRS program is the replacement of the All-America Rose Selection (AARS) program that ran from 1940 until 2013. Roses that have been selected in either program are the best ones for gardeners to try. Only about 4 percent of the roses tested in the AARS program were chosen for a national award.
