Get It Growing: Super Plant Peggy Martin rose represents Louisiana

Each year, the LSU AgCenter selects beautiful plants that grow particularly well in Louisiana climates. They’re called Louisiana Super Plants. On this edition of Get It Growing, LSU AgCenter horticulturist Heather Kirk-Ballard introduces the spring 2023 Super Plant - the thornless Peggy Martin rose. She also explains why this plant has great meaning for our state.

I would have mentioned when to plant might be common knowledge most but I have no clue.

“Peggy Martin” roses are pretty amazing, but they simply gave a new name to a noid (no id). That’s not generally acceptable. Imagine if every noid received a new name.

Somewhere I read it was previously called Seven Sisters rose
