Grandiflora Rose 'Earth Song': Buck's Planetary Anthem

Introduced in 1975 by Dr. Griffith Buck, 'Earth Song' belongs to the Buck Roses Collection—roses bred for the Midwest's extremes. This grandiflora produces large, high-centered blooms of deep pink on long stems, a song of resilience sung in floral form.

Botanical Profile

The flowers are classic grandiflora—high-centered, 5-6 inches across, borne singly or in small clusters on long, cutting stems. The color is a deep, saturated pink. The fragrance is moderate, sweet. The plant is tall and upright, 5-6 feet, with the characteristic Buck foliage: leathery, dark green, exceptionally disease-resistant. Buck's roses were tested in Iowa's open fields—no spray, no winter cover. 'Earth Song' survived and sang. It's a grandiflora with the soul of a prairie grass—deep-rooted, wind-firm, and blooming through whatever the sky sends.
