New Year  I've classified New Year as a Floribunda but I feel it doesn’t really know what it is. The blooms often come singly, one per stem, and are big enough to be called Hybrid Teas. More often, they come in clusters. The plant grows to such a size in California that Americans call it a Grandiflora. Whatever it is, it is a pretty rose that doesn’t fade in the sun - unusual in that colour. It always seems to be in flower, new growth coming away just as the old blooms finish. The glossy dark foliage is tough and really healthy. It received an AARS, a RINZ Award, a Trial Ground Certificate from the RNRS and a Certificate of Merit from The Hague. Macnewye, Floribunda 1982. Parentage: Mary Sumner x {Yellow Pages « Kabuki}. Breeder: Sam McGredy, New Zealand.
