All-America Rose Selections (AARS) Winner 2000

Gemini produces elegant flowers on a tough, vigorous plant. The blooms are bicolored, cream, bordered in rich coral pink. They're at their best in areas with moderate to hot summer temperatures. Sunshine intensifies the fabulous coloration.

Gemini Hybrid Tea Rose is renowned for its exquisite bicolor blooms and continuous flowering habit. From late spring through late fall, this exceptional variety produces a steady succession of 5-inch, high-centered double blooms, each featuring 30 to 35 delicately spiraled petals. The striking coral-pink and creamy white hues create a stunning porcelain-like effect, making Gemini one of the most sought-after bicolor roses. Lightly fragrant and perched atop long, sturdy stems, its blooms are perfect for cutting, bringing elegance and fragrance to floral arrangements.

With a tall, upright growth habit, Gemini is equally suited for single plantings, mixed borders, and cutting gardens, offering season-long interest. Bred by Jackson & Perkins, Gemini is a direct descendant of the refined hybrid tea Anne Morrow Lindbergh and the heat-tolerant, vibrant New Zealand rose New Year. This superior lineage gives it exceptional vigor, strong disease resistance, and the ability to thrive in warm climates where other roses may struggle. Gemini grows larger than some hybrid teas and so is ideal for the back of a flower border or as a focal point plant.

For optimal performance, plant Gemini in full sun and well-drained soil, ensuring consistent watering and seasonal fertilization to encourage its signature flushes of blooms. Gemini is an enduring timeless hybrid tea rose that performs reliably in almost any rose garden. Grow Gemini Hybrid Tea Rose for its striking color contrast, exceptional cut flowers, or continuous reblooming.

NOTE: Tree and patio roses are hardy to Zone 6 regardless of the rose variety grafted to their tops.

STUNNING
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I had this and its first year you would have thought it was a fully established bush. It leafed out and flowered with. the rest of my garden. The flowers are perfectly formed and do in fact have the rich blushed tips. The rose repeated flowering well thought the season even I the summer heat. It is pretty disease resistant until temps get cooler and black spot rolls in. Over all I would call it a show stopper and a must have for my garden.

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.
