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. These varieties are climbers and can be grown as such or, with careful pruning, as bushes. Initially, most 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. Photo on left is White Cap and Rhode Island Red. (Read more about Brownell roses on our Articles About Roses page.) We propagate these vintage Everblooming Pillars (pictured on the right) each August by grafting onto winter hardy root stock, creating ideal roses for New England gardens. ***********************************************************
