According to the American Rose Magazine, Nor'east has two new AOE winners, Iced Raspberry and Caliente. The photo of IR is not a closeup. I have no personal experience with either, but am interestedin Caliente as its picture shows good form in a nice red.

Iced Raspberry is described as: A red blend miniature with raspberry red petals and white reverse, 44-54 petals, born singly to a stem, unfurl slowly and has a light fragrance. Parentage is Jilly Jewel x unnamed seedling.

Caliente is a dark red minautre with an upgright growth habit to 24" in height. It has 31 petals and a moderate raspberry fragrance. Its partentage is Ruby x Timeless.

I have no growing experience for either.

Thanks, I guess we'll just have to wait till the next selling season is under way to really see this.

If you subscribe or can get your hands on ARS American Rose magazine for September 05-There is an article on both of those roses and photos! They are gorgeous in the photos.
There are actually 3 that won the Award of Excellance-
Iced Raspberry-Caliente-Baby Bloomer
Baby Bloomer is described as med pink, single blooms in clusters!
My only confusion is in the magazine front page the photos and names are different than on the back page. They have Iced Raspberry and Baby bloomer mixed up.
