dr. a.j. verhage> outlet

also known as golden wave, this dutch hybrid tea set the standard for greenhouse roses when it appeared on the market. dr. a.j. verhage is a short-growing bush but produces tons of lovely buds that open to show amber stamens, and the strongly fragrant blooms contrast beautifully with the dark green foliage. he is a favorite of pollinators for obvious reasons! his strong disease resistance has made him a perfect parent plant to some of our other favorite roses including just joey, julia’s rose, and french lace.
