All-America Rose Selections (AARS) Winner 1976
Bred by Jackson & Perkins, introduced in the bicentennial year, and immediately named an All-America Rose Selection, America Climbing Rose gloriously exhibits all the best traits of contemporary roses. The fully double blooms are packed with 30 or more petals of deep pink suffused with salmon and coral on the upper surface, lighter tones on the reverse. Redolent of cloves, the fragrant flowers fill the garden with a pleasing spice that lingers long after twilight. Strong, quick-growing canes are clothed in dark green foliage—disease-resistant and very attractive. America Climbing Rose is a garden star!
America Climbing Rose begins its show with masses of pointed buds, which open to layers of sunset-toned petals. Expect the flowers to reach 4 to 5 inches wide, borne primarily one per stem, but occasionally in small clusters. Banked by thick, leathery foliage that looks good from spring until hard frost in fall, the blooms appear in waves all season long, perfuming the garden around them, adding stunning color to any sunny setting, whether climbing an arch or arbor, trailing along a fence, covering a wall, or transforming a pergola or gazebo into a fragrant, shady retreat.
Expect this vigorous rose, a very fast-growing climber, to reach 10 to 12 feet high and 6 to 8 feet wide at maturity. Bred by Bill Warriner from Fragrant Cloud x Tradition, America Climbing Rose comes by its disease-resistant nature and robust growth honestly. Its pedigree is impeccable, and it surpasses its parents in beauty. A favorite since its 1976 introduction, America Climbing Rose is the climber you want for that place of honor in your garden to serve as a spectacular focal point of color and scent, offering height, structure, and an abundance of beautiful blooms.

Bare root roses are the most common form of roses for spring and early season planting, and come in two types: grafted and own root.
Grafted roses, sometimes referred to as budded bare root roses, have roots that belong to a different variety of rose than the shoots. While the shoots will grow into the variety of rose you've selected, the root variety has been specially grown and developed for hardiness, improved resistance to common diseases, and improved resistance to certain weather conditions. The roots on any grafted rose you receive are usually already two years old, so they'll establish in your garden more quickly when planted.
Own root roses are grown from rose shoot cuttings and develop their own root system. Unlike grafted roses, both their roots and shoots come from the same variety of plant.
All Jackson & Perkins bare root roses are maintained in a suspended state of growth in our state-of-the-art wet cooler, so they'll be delivered to you with no foliage or blooms. The wet cooler has a uniform storage temperature set just above freezing and uses a fog system to provide consistent humidity of 100%, ensuring the roses remain fully hydrated and don't exit dormancy before leaving our facility. While you might see some variance in size, even within the same variety of bare root rose, all our roses meet the same rigorous standards of quality.
So, not sure which type of bare root rose you should choose? Don't worry, we've got that covered. We've researched which varieties of bare root roses grow better as grafted or own root, and both types can be planted in the early spring months, so just choose the variety of rose you're most interested in and get planting.
Though you might be surprised or intimidated when you receive a box of bare root roses filled with roots and shoots, rest assured, with the proper care, these little bundles will grow into stunning roses.
container roses are typically available in 2-quart sizes or larger and come with established foliage that may or may not have blooms. While bare root roses should generally be planted in early spring, container roses allow you quite a bit more flexibility in planting time, from spring all the way through fall in many zones. Fall can be a good season to plant container roses because it allows them enough time to establish themselves before cold or freezing temperatures arrive.

From seed to market a new garden rose can take 8 to 10 years to develop. Every year, thousands of seedlings are grown but only a handful are selected to move into the trial phase. During this time, potential new roses are grown and evaluated in different climatic regions of the country. Our rosarians are looking for rose bushes that have stronger disease resistance, vigorous growth habits, and clean healthy foliage. When it comes to blooms, they are looking for improved flower form, unique colors, and strong fragrance.
Today Jackson & Perkins offers over 200 varieties of roses that includes a broad selection of exclusive roses, historical favorites, and innovative genetics from hybridizers around the world. We have two seasons each year for roses. In the spring, we offer bare root rose bushes, bare root 36” trees, 24” patio trees, and container grown roses. Our fall season is all bush roses, and they are available in 2QT and 1GL containers.
