Bred by Dr. Michael Dirr's Plant Introductions, Inc., in Georgia, it boasts above average heat tolerance and disease resistance, especially to powdery mildew.
Easy Elegance Screaming Neon Red rose (Rosa 'BAIneon') features wave-like petals and disease-resistant, dark green foliage that turns burgundy-red in the fall.
Among the new additions to the First Editions line are St. Croix American elm, Midnight Magic crape myrtle, Toscana barberry, Groovy Grape butterfly bush, and Parkland Pillar birch.
