This stunning rose, bred by esteemed New Zealand hybridizer John Ford, brings rich international heritage right to your garden. With limited availability and exclusive access through Jackson & Perkins, Miss Scarlet is poised to become a rare showpiece in American gardens.
Miss Scarlet is a small but powerful climber with canes that stretch gracefully from 6 to 10 feet, ideal for vertical growing on trellises, fences, or even as a free-standing fountain of color in the landscape. This variety is characterized by its richly colored orange-red blooms that measure an impressive 4 to 5 inches across, and sport over 25 delicately ruffled petals that create a semi-double, richly textured look. These eye-catching blooms arrive in small, gently fragrant clusters that look even more striking against glossy green foliage. Its manageable size makes it perfect for a variety of spaces.
As expected from a Jackson & Perkins rose, Miss Scarlet offers strong disease resistance, bringing reliable beauty to your garden with minimal effort. Despite its delicate appearance, Miss Scarlet is bred to thrive in diverse climates across zones 5 to 9, ensuring gardeners nationwide can enjoy its beauty from spring through the end of summer.
Available exclusively through Jackson & Perkins, Miss Scarlet joins the Roses Around the World Collection, a celebration of global rose breeding achievement. Miss Scarlet exemplifies the unique artistry of New Zealand's top breeders and embodies John Ford's expertise in rose breeding.

"Miss Scarlet is truly a gem among climbing roses. John Ford has created a variety that marries elegance with durability. The vibrant red-orange blooms are both eye-catching and enduring," says Wes Harvell, Jackson & Perkins Rosarian.
With exceptional versatility and disease resistance, growing Miss Scarlet is a joy whether you train it along an arbor or allow it to spill over a garden bed. For the best results plant Miss Scarlet in full sun with well-draining soil and provide sturdy support. Prune weak or crossing canes in early spring to encourage strong growth. This beauty will provide endless blooms that you can cut and bring indoors to enjoy in bouquets or to admire from your favorite garden viewing spot.
