Description
Jackson & Perkins Rose of the Year 2008 | Intense Tea Rose Fragrance

This All-American Rose Selections award-winning hybrid of Pristine and New Zealand, a former Jackson & Perkins Rose of the Year, exhibits painterly blooms, nicely petaled and softly hued in shades of cream and pink. Produced in flushes throughout the season, pointed, ovoid buds spiral into 4- to 5-inch blooms on sturdy, generous stems, well-suited for cutting. The flowers emit an intense tea rose fragrance and last and last in the garden or vase.

Growing to 5 feet in height and 4 feet in width, this rose bush is a dazzling showpiece in the garden, the pale blooms set off by the dark green foliage. The plant thrives with medium moisture and slightly acidic, well-drained loam in full sun. Make sure the plant has good air circulation, which promotes vigorous and healthy growth as well as helps prevent disease. A layer of mulch during the summer months helps to retain moisture, keep roots cool, and discourages weed growth.

Pruning is required in the spring, trimming the shrub to half its height or about 18 inches off the ground. Old canes and dead wood should be removed and canes that cross each other should be cut. In warmer climates, the remaining canes should be cut by one-third. More trimming is required in colder climates.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

The first year this was beautiful. The second year only a few blooms. This year (3rd) the plant is half April in Paris and half red shrub rose. Not great quality.

Long lasting, fragrant cut rose!!!
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I was given a cutting with 3 roses by a dear friend. It was so delightfully fragrant and the delicate pink blossoms remained in pristine condition for a full week. I was so impressed I will be adding an April in Paris rose to my garden next spring!

elegnant rose
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

April in Paris is a very elegnant rose, but i have found it does not like full sun, the delicate petals will burn as the sun heats up for the summer. I have moved it in the back of my yard where there is slight tree coverage. The flowers are a beautiful clear pink, high center large bloom. This rose is winter hardy with very little dieback, i didnot have to trim it after it broke dormancy. Iam waiting for my bush to mature, last year it did ok, but didnt really bloom as expected, im hoping it will this year. The flowers last on the cane and in the vase, wonderful strong scent.

Choosing Your Roses

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 Bare root Roses
Own root Bare root Roses

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

Container 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.
