Brownell Roses
During the 1950’s, the Brownells introduced a series of “Everblooming Pillars,” 
a climbing form that, unlike their previous once-blooming large flowered climbers, repeated regularly on the current year’s growth. Of all the Brownell introductions spanning a half century, we believe this collection of pillars to be their finest work. These sturdy roses were truly “Sub Zero” demonstrating excellent winter hardiness as well as above average disease resistance. Most of them could be considered small climbers and be grown as such or, with careful pruning, as bushes. Most varieties were identified by a number until they were introduced and then given a name. For example, Everblooming Pillar No. 3 went on to become White Cap.
We bud grafted our first commercial crop in August 2007, the same way the Brownell’s did, utilizing hardy Rosa multiflora as a root stock. The following varieties will be available for sale in Spring, 2009. (Read more about Brownell roses on the More About Roses page)
Rhode Island Red
(1957, Everblooming Pillar No.19)
Our favorite Everblooming Pillar is loaded with clusters of dark red, moderately fragrant cupped blooms against a background of dense, medium green foliage. The growth habit is quite robust with heavy canes shooting out laterally as well as vertically; ideal for training along a fence or stone wall.
White Cap
(1954, Everblooming Pillar No. 3)
This free blooming Brownell beauty displays masses of creamy white, fragrant, very double (50 to 70 petals) blooms all season long. It grows five to seven feet and can be trained as either a bush or climber.
Golden Arctic
(1954, Everblooming Pillar No. 84)
Fragrant, pale yellow double (35 to 40 petals) flowers bloom continuously all summer on this vigorously growing pillar. It will grow 5 to 7 feet, perfect for a small climber.
Scarlet Sensation
(1954, Everblooming Pillar No. 73)
Great clusters of dark pink, fragrant double (35 petals) blooms are featured on this small climber that repeats several times each season.
Lafter
(1948, floribunda)
This floribunda has gorgeous pink and yellow buds that open into salmon pink open blooms (23 petals) with cheery yellow centers. Very limited availability.
These varieties available for purchase Spring 2009
