A Rose by any other name, just wouldn’t be the same

A Rose hybridizer just paid Monty’s Plant Food Company and Monty Justice the highest compliment possible.  They named a rose after him.

When anyone hybridizes a new variety of rose, they get the privilege of naming it.  Many times they will name it after a celebrity, a meaningful person in their life, an exotic place, or something else of significance to them. 

Well, when one hybridizer recently revealed their new hybrid, they name it “Monty’s Joy”.  A fitting tribute for the man who has dedicated so much of his life to beautifying our lives with roses. Here is Monty posing with one of his eponymous roses.

In case you are wondering “Monty’s Joy” is a mauve colored mini-flora rose.  One place you can purchase them is here at K&M you will see the cultivar listed on page three of their offerings;  the phone number is right up top.

I can’t let it go without saying that Monty would want you to know, Monty’s real “Joy” is his lovely wife, Becky.
 
Oh, and if you are wanting to get this or any rose transplanted successfully.  I suggest checking out the mymontys.com website for our gardening tips, our video on preparing bare-root roses, and to learn more about Monty’s 4-15-12 fertilizer which will likely end any evidence of transplant shock in your flower beds.
