ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Oct. 9, 2019 - PRLog -- The American Gardens Rose Selections™ (AGRS) testing program has announced its selections for 2020 at the recent Biltmore International Rose Trials.
The AGRS™ testing program is considered the successor organization to All American Rose Selections. AGRS™ recognizes roses that are easy to care for, disease-resistant and suitable for different regions of the country. In addition, awards are given for fragrance to help guide consumers who desire roses for their fragrance.
The 2020 AGRS™ winners are:
• Belinda's Blush - Regional Choice Award Winner in the Northwest, Southeast and South Central Regions. Bred by G. Michael Shoup. Introduced by The Antique Rose Emporium.
• Canyon Road - Regional Choice Award Winner in the Northeast, Northwest and South Central Regions. Bred by Meilland. Introduced by Star Roses & Plants.

All roses entered into the AGRS™ are tested for two years in six different geographical regions, each containing two test gardens. Additional characteristics that are evaluated include: vigor, foliage, proportion, plant habit, flowering effect, rebloom habit, bloom form, aging quality of blooms, fragrance and hardiness. In order for a variety to be granted an award, it must average at least 80 out of 100 points in at least 50% of the regions entered.
By recognizing and recommending the best garden-worthy rose varieties for the various regions of the United States through testing, the AGRS™ has the goal of providing objective and reliable information to the general public.
