The Veranda™ series of roses was bred by Kordes roses to be smaller than standard shrub rose varieties and suitable for beds near porches. This was indeed a diminutive shrub rose with peachy-cream colored flowers and fairly clean foliage. There were no significant differences in growth between treatments. Although it bloomed on all irrigation treatments from March through October (when it was removed,) the best flushes were in April, July, and September. The highest overall quality rating throughout the year was at 40% of ETo, a result we have found on other landscape roses (Table 10). The one major flaw of this rose was its tendency to break from its dense small habit by sending up awkward, long canes that ruined its uniformity. This one feature caused its downgrade on overall appearance. A home gardener might not find this habit too annoying to correct with hand shears, but it would be highly inconvenient in a commercial setting or mass planting where some consistent uniformity is desired.
