Learn more about what makes a rose an American Garden Rose Selections™

learn more about the agrs process

It takes years to develop a rose that you can eventually buy and plant in your garden. Talented hybridizers create thousands of variations of roses that then undergo a rigorous selection process so that only the ones that will be the most beautiful, fragrant and disease-resistant are made available to you for your garden. 

​While every nursery tests potential roses in fields in different locations, the American Garden Rose Selections™ process offers rose gardeners an unbiased third-party evaluation.
