Some roses tell a story through their blooms. Sweet Frances tells one through both its beauty and its name.
Named by Rebecca Franks after her mother, Frances Hobbs of DeRidder, Louisiana, this beloved Pioneer rose was the winning entry in Antique Rose Emporium's rose naming contest, a heartfelt tribute that perfectly suits such a graceful and enduring garden companion.
Delicate, 2½-inch apricot blooms appear in generous flushes from spring through fall, bringing warm, peachy tones and old-fashioned charm to the landscape. Each full bloom carries a pleasant, moderate fragrance, inviting you to stop and savor the moment as you stroll through the garden.
Bred by Mike Shoup from the exceptional lineage of 'Heritage,' 'Carefree Beauty,' and 'Mrs. Oakley Fisher,' Sweet Frances combines classic beauty with modern garden performance. Its upright, bushy habit matures into a handsome 5 to 6-foot shrub clothed in healthy, semi-glossy green foliage, while its impressive disease resistance makes it as dependable as it is beautiful.
Whether planted as a specimen, incorporated into a mixed border, or used to add height and color to the landscape, Sweet Frances rewards gardeners with season-long blooms and timeless elegance.

At checkout, you may choose your desired delivery timeframe. This is a very important step!
We do ask that you make sure the weather in your zone is suitable for receiving and plating your roses.
Antique Rose Emporium is in Texas and the December weather can be anywhere from below freezing to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. But our weather is extremely mild compared to the northern United States.
We want you to have the best success possible with your roses and ask that you let us care for them over the winter and receive them at the time that you plan to plant.
Please ensure that you are not experiencing freezing temperatures and the ground is not frozen when you plan to receive your rose.
