The new catalogs are on their way if you haven't gotten one already. There are beautiful new items and, of course, all the classic Wayside Gardens favorites. The 2009 Wayside Gardens Catalog is really beautiful. I am especially impressed with the rose line-up. We have many old favorites, but there are also a few really amazing new roses this year.

For example, the brand new Rose 'Fragrant Wave' is a really impressive plant. You can see from the picture that it is extremely floriferous. 'Fragrant Wave' is a hardy, disease-resistant re-bloomer with big, fluffy white blooms with subtly golden center and a spicy fragrance.
I believe Rose 'Wildberry Breeze' is my personal favorite, but mostly because it is so pretty. This is not to say that this new Rugosa cultivar doesn't have much more to offer than her stunning looks. This is a cold-hardy (zone 4), black-spot resistant, beautifully fragrant rose that will bloom through two long seasons.
