A new and distinctor Bee-Balm cultivar is provided that displays an upright mounded growth habit and frequently assumes a mature height of approximately three to four feet. Attractive bright coral pink blossoms commonly are formed from June through August. The foliage is dark green, contrasts well with the blossom coloration, and displays a strong minty fragrance. Good resistance to Powdery Mildew is displayed. The plant is well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in the landscape.

Monarda plant named 'Coral Reef'

A new and distinct variety of shrub rose plant of relatively small stature is provided which forms in clusters attractive semi-double slightly concave yellow-orange blossoms that display a strong fragrance. The blossoming occurs substantially continuously over a long duration. An open and erect growth habit is exhibited. The foliage is glossy dark green and contrasts nicely with the yellow range blossoms. The plant propagates well by the use of softwood cuttings and possesses good winter hardiness. Good disease resistance particularly to blackspot is exhibited. It is particularly well suited for growing as an individual plant or as a mass planting to create ornamentation in the landscape.

Shrub rose plant named 'Morden Sunrise'

A new and distinct variety of perennial Monarda spp. or Bee-Balm plant is provided that exhibits a dense dwarf stature. The blossoms exhibit an attractive light pink coloration (as illustrated). Dense dark green and glossy foliage is formed that contrasts well with the blossom coloration. The new variety can be distinguished from the 'Petite Delight' variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,784) by its generally smaller blossom size, smaller foliage, and slightly smaller and more compact growth habit. The winter hardiness is good.

Monarda plant named 'Petite Wonder'

A new and distinct Marsh.&times; Rupr. hybrid ash cultivar is provided which exhibits a vigorous growth habit. An attractive upright tree form with an acute branching character is exhibited. Shiny yellow-green compound leaves are formed. The flowers are perfect, seed production is low, and no production of viable seeds has been observed to date. The tree hardiness is excellent. The new cultivar is particularly well suited for the lining of streets and boulevards.

Hybrid ash tree named 'Northern Treasure'

A new and distinct Marsh.&times; Rupr. hybrid ash cultivar is provided which exhibits a vigorous growth habit. An attractive oval to round-shaped tree form with an acute branching character is exhibited. The tree crown is almost as wide as tall when grown in an open setting. Dull green compound leaves are formed. The flowers are perfect, seed production is low, and no production of viable seeds has been observed to date. The tree hardiness is good. The new cultivar is particularly well suited for growing as a shade tree.

Hybrid ash tree named 'Northern Gem'

A new and distinct variety of shrub rose plant is provided which forms in clusters attractive semi-double somewhat flattened white blossoms. An open and semi-erect growth habit of excellent form is exhibited. The foliage is glossy dark green and contrasts nicely with the white blossoms. The plant propagates well by the use of softwood cuttings and possesses good winter hardiness. Petaloid stamens commonly are present. Excellent disease resistance particularly to blackspot its exhibited. It is particularly well suited for growing as an individual plant or as a mass planting to create ornamentation in the landscape.

Shrub rose plant named 'Morden Snowbeauty'

A new and distinct variety of perennial Monarda or Bee-Balm plant is provided that exhibits a unique dwarf stature and good winter hardiness. The blossoms exhibits an attractive light pink-purple to light purple coloration (as illustrated). Dense dark green and glossy foliage is formed that contrasts well with the blossom coloration. The low-growing growth habit of the new variety can readily be distinguished from that of the `Marshalls Delight` variety (non-patented in the United States).
