John S. Armstrong

Named for John S. Armstrong, the nurseryman and rose enthusiast who founded Armstrong Nurseries in the 1890s, this rose carries a touching family connection. Bred from Charlotte Armstrong, a rose named and dedicated to his wife two decades before. John S. Armstrong is a grandiflora rose producing large, double long lasting blooms in dark velvety red that blues to a rich magenta red with age, lightly fragrant with sweet and fruity notes, ideal for statement plantings, beds, and borders. An All-America Rose Selection winner and gracing gardens for over 60 years.
