Shrub Rose, Buck Roses Collection 'Distant Drums' (Rosa)





Telly's Greenhouse, Troy, MI



Hybridizer Griffith Buck's best rose in my Opinion. His are bred for colder zones but awesome in mine


If I could only grow a couple roses(God forbid and heaven help me..) this would be one of them!! Every bloom is a unique beauty!!








Distant Drums


Lovely blooms, unusual colors, each bloom different from the last, and very hardy - What a great rose!!


The buds are darker, and colors mellow and change as blooms age



Second day of open bloom in the rain.



Healthy deep green leaves, lovely dark reddish brown stems.
