Morcom is now an AARS Accredited Rose Garden!!

September 9, 2009 By Friends of Morcom

About AARS:

All-America Rose Selections is a nonprofit association dedicated to the introduction and promotion of exceptional roses.  The AARS runs the world?s most challenging horticultural testing program, and consistently recognizes roses that will be easy to grow and require minimal care by today?s busy homeowner.

Since 1938, the AARS testing program has encouraged the rose industry to improve the disease resistance, ease of care, and beauty of roses. Today, the AARS program is one of the most successful and highly regarded of its kind, having brought to the forefront some of the most popular roses in history, such as Peace, Knock Out and Bonica. AARS Winning Roses are labeled with the AARS red rose seal of approval to distinguish them from other plants in the nursery.
