2027 Local Artist Award from the American Rose Trials for Sustainability®
Congratulations to hybridizer Ping Lim and sponsor Bailey Nurseries for the rose The Finest™ ( ‘BAInest’) which was awarded the Local Artist award in this tough “no-spray,” low input trial. The Finest™ is an upright growing shrub rose. Blush-tinted buds open to pure white very double blossoms that are born singly and in small clusters with moderate to long stems. The Local Artist award was earned by The Finest™ by winning in the southeast quarter of the continental U.S. and highland regions of the West.
