Meet Red Masterpiece, a Jackson & Perkins classic that's as captivating today as it was in 1974. This historically popular hybrid tea rose brings a legacy of beauty, fragrance, and distinction. Part of the exclusive Jackson & Perkins Vault Collection and originally bred by the legendary William Warriner in 1974, it is a true connoisseur's choice.
Red Masterpiece presents high-centered, exhibition-quality blooms that are breathtaking in size and beauty. Each flower measures a grand 5 inches across and is packed with 40 richly colored, dark red petals that unfurl gracefully, creating a velvety, double bloom with an exceptional reflexed form. Its rich old-rose fragrance evokes memories of a traditional rose garden. Its striking blooms are borne singly on sturdy, long stems, making Red Masterpiece ideal for cutting and displaying in bouquets.
This hybrid tea rose forms an upright, vigorous bush that grows to about 4 feet in height and 3 feet in width. Although the rose bush is medium-sized, is has a commanding presence in the landscape. The dark green, leathery foliage provides a handsome backdrop for the vibrant red blooms, enhancing their color and show-casing their form. Red Masterpiece is well-suited to containers, where it can be admired on a patio or terrace, or as a focal point in a smaller garden bed or border.
As an heirloom rose with historical significance, Red Masterpiece requires a bit more attention than some modern varieties to reach its full potential. Regular feeding, strategic pruning, and mindful care will ensure this nostalgic beauty rewards you with luxurious blooms and lush growth throughout the season. Hardy in USDA Zones 7-10, it's best suited to warm climates.
The Vault Collection at Jackson & Perkins celebrates roses that have become cherished classics, connecting gardeners to the storied legacy of rose cultivation. Red Masterpiece embodies this endowment, offering a blend of beauty, fragrance, and heritage that will resonate with rose gardeners.
