Fragrant Memory hybrid tea rose brings together vintage charm and modern performance in a beautifully scented package. First introduced by Jackson & Perkins in 1974 and bred by William A. Warriner, this timeless variety features high-centered, 4-inch blooms in a romantic blend of pink with soft mauve highlights. Each flower emerges from a long, pointed bud—usually solitary, though occasionally in small clusters—and opens to reveal 26 to 40 gracefully spiraled petals. Its strong, traditional rose fragrance is one of its most memorable traits, creating a truly immersive garden experience. With a mature height of 4 to 5 feet, Fragrant Memory is upright, vigorous, and consistently elegant in form.
Perfect for formal rose beds, cutting gardens, or as a specimen planting, Fragrant Memory shines in both design and utility. Its richly hued blooms look stunning paired with cool-toned companions like lavender or Russian sage, or alongside classic whites for a refined palette. Whether tucked along a garden path or grown en masse, this variety delivers both visual drama and fragrant delight. Its long stems and large, shapely flowers make it an ideal choice for fresh-cut arrangements, where both the form and scent can be appreciated indoors.
Fragrant Memory thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and will reward attentive gardeners with repeated flushes of flowers from late spring to mid-fall. Space plants about 3 to 4 feet apart to allow for air circulation and easy maintenance. Hardy in USDA Zones 5 through 9, this rose also boasts strong vigor and an upright, well-branched habit that supports a season-long blooming. With large, leathery, light green foliage and an iconic fragrance, Fragrant Memory is a reliable and nostalgic favorite for gardeners who value both beauty and scent.

Leave a ReviewBare 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.
