AARS 1939 to 2013
All-America Rose Selections (AARS) was a nonprofit association created by the American rose industry dedicated to the introduction and promotion of exceptional roses.
The creation of the AARS trialing program finally took the guesswork and confusion out of rose buying in America. For over 60 years, until 2013, the AARS provided a seal of approval and assurance for the American gardener.
AARS award-winning roses are exceptional roses for the American home gardener. But the prestige of AARS winners goes beyond the borders of the United States. AARS standards of excellence are recognized and respected worldwide. During its existence, there was no higher award bestowed on a rose than AARS status.
A founding member of All-America Rose Selections, Jackson & Perkins is proud of its long-standing relationship with AARS and its heritage of AARS award-winning roses. Jackson & Perkins' small group of hybridizers also holds the industry record, creating 25 AARS winners. And today, we are proud to carry an extensive selection of All-America Rose Selection (AARS) winning roses for our all-American gardeners.
