Dark green disease resistant foliage frames Montana's velvety dark red blooms, which are shapely and plentiful. Tall ovoid buds open to well-formed, classic red roses on a smaller scale. Flowers form singly and in small clusters on long stems. Cut flowers last and last. Another top-form miniature rose from Frank Benardella, Ruby is a velvety medium red with a lighter reverse, offering a nice contrast that subtly brings out the beauty of each bloom.
Flowers sit high atop long stems on a vigorous plant with semi-glossy foliage.
Ruby is a winner on the show table or the dining table and in the garden. This prolific bicolor is outstanding in the garden or in a container on the patio. Snowy white petals are edged with delicious deep pink. The plants bloom so freely, a bed or border of Zell is a marvel. The plants are bushy, low growing, and produce attractive, medium-green, matte foliage that compliments the unique color of the flowers.
