About the Sponsors
All-America Rose Selections is a nonprofit association of rose growers and introducers dedicated to bringing
exceptional, easy-to-grow roses to gardeners across the county. AARS operates
the world’s most rigorous plant trial program via a network of more than 20
official test gardens throughout the country and representing all climate zones.
This sophisticated evaluation process results is a new crop of AARS winning
roses each year, guaranteeing that only the best make it into your garden.
AARS strives to identify roses that are easy to grow, and evaluates plants
on more than 10 qualities, including disease resistance, vigor and fragrance.
For more information, visit www.rose.org.
"Remember Me" Rose Garden is a nonprofit organization creating remembrance
rose gardens at each of the three major 9/11 crash sites. The gardens will
stand as a living tribute to the victims of the terrorist attacks in New York,
at the Pentagon, and at a field in Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania.
A portion of the sales of “Remember Me” roses goes to the fund to help create
and maintain these gardens in perpetuity. Currently available are 'Firefighter',
'Soaring Spirits', and 'We Salute You'. Forty Heroes will be available starting
in Spring 2008. Each year thereafter, a new rose will be dedicated to one of
the many groups affected by this national tragedy. For more information, visit www.remember-me-rose.org.
