Dr. Griffith Buck

A professor of horticulture at Iowa State University, Dr. Buck worked with the American Rose Society for over forty years to develop beautiful garden roses able to survive the extremes of America's unusual climates.

His work yielded roses of every shape and color, from brilliant red to golden yellow to one of the bluest of the blue roses. Hybrid teas, grandifloras, and floribundas can be used as climbers, shrubs, hedges, and container plants.

Offering options for every taste and need, Buck roses are also disease resistant, drought resistant, and hardy to -30 degrees Fahrenheit.

The variety and versatility of this collection is amazing. According to readers, Snow Roses Desert Blooms: The Buck Collectionis. . .
