Profiled varieties they carry
Castle Drive
A light blend in soft sherbet peach. Coseytown and Idlewild note it carries less yellow than the varieties it gets confused with.
Jowey Winnie
Dusty rose to dark pink with a muted bronze hue and an amethyst undertone.
Linda's Baby
Pink layered with strawberry and orange sherbet tones, sitting between true pink and coral.
Cornel Bronze
Muted bronze, recorded under ADS color code BR3. A soft metallic shade that designers use where red or orange would be too loud.
Penhill Watermelon
A light blend of watermelon pink and peach washed with lavender, coral, and a faint yellow base. The mix shifts bloom to bloom and with the light.
Maarn
Honey apricot deepening to tangerine orange, a saturated warm tone.
Hapet Champagne
A light blend of soft cream and blush washed with apricot and lemon, deepening toward a lemon sorbet center. The center color intensifies late in the season.
Valley Rust Bucket
Classed bronze: an amber two-tone with orange petals over a strawberry-red reverse, so the ball shifts color with viewing angle.
Snoho Doris
A dark blend that varies bloom to bloom. Idlewild describes citrine yellow and strawberry red, koi-like, while Floret sees coral, peach, and apricot.
Fluffles
Shell to bubblegum pink outer petals around a creamy eggnog center.
Lark's Ebbe
A bronze-peach that shifts through the season, ADS class 3011, never quite the same color twice.
