Description
A rosy disposition and spreading habit

Here's proof that ground cover can shine in your floral display. Though Happy Chappy Ground Cover Rose grows no more than 2 feet off the ground, it stands tall as a bright, color-packed accent or as the solution to problem landscape areas.

With vivid arrays of pink, apricot, yellow, and orange petals surrounding a yellow eye in cuppy blossoms, Happy Chappy's blooms ensure a bright, consistent display in the garden. The blossoms open from pointed, ovoid buds to cover its mounding habit, which spreads throughout the season. Its light, pleasing fragrance adds to its cheery appearance. Happy Chappy's fun assortment of colors makes it ideal for hanging baskets, containers, and mixed perennial beds. With Happy Chappy's bright colors, it can form its own little Easter bouquet.

Spreading quickly to 3 feet across, Happy Chappy Ground Cover Rose tolerates heat and humidity. Like all roses, Happy Chappy grows best in moist, well-drained soil and full sun. Remove spent flowers to promote rebloom. Easy to grow and maintain, Happy Chappy Ground Cover Rose provides a great inroad for novice gardeners to start or brighten up a struggling display.

Spring pruning is encouraged, and old and dead wood should be removed. Cut back canes that cross each other. In warmer climates, cut remaining canes by about one-third. In colder climates, additional cutting is recommended.

You'll find everything you need to successfully grow and maintain your Happy Chappy rose with our extensive video library, filled with rose care videos, and our Fertilizer & Plant Care supplies page.

Sad chappy plant
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I bought the Happy Chappy plant from Jackson Perkins over a year ago and they were delivered in good shape. This year I bought them again as a gift for my mother for her 67yrs wedding anniversary … the plant was dry and had spots. I’m disappointed.

Beautiful color(s)
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

We planted these on a slope bordering our driveway. They have spread and provide a long-lasting pop of pink/yellow/orange color all summer/fall. Neighbors often remark on how they are cheerful and healthy (we do apply a systemic fertilizer three times a growing season ). They have survived our Northwest rain, wind, sleet and snow - and thrive in the sun.

Happy Chappy
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

Ordered 5, they came over a week late. Out of the 5, after careful care we will be lucky to have 3 survive. Lost two so far. We have dealt with you many times and this is the first time anything like this happened.

Love these great bloomers!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

So pleased with the 5 Happy Chappy roses I purchased from J&P this spring. They are non stop bloomers and super healthy. No yellow leaves during our very wet Washington coast late spring weather which is a big plus. Will be ordering more!

Love this rose!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I bought two Happy Chappy roses two years ago. They are growing on either side of a pot of annuals. They have been healthy and “happy’ from the day I planted them. They bloom all summer and are easy to deadhead. I Feed them twice each season and they thrive, even up to 105 degrees. The cold snowy winters don’t seem to bother them. I just loves these little guys!

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.

From seed to market a new garden rose can take 8 to 10 years to develop. Every year, thousands of seedlings are grown but only a handful are selected to move into the trial phase. During this time, potential new roses are grown and evaluated in different climatic regions of the country.

When it comes to blooms, they are looking for improved flower form, unique colors, and strong fragrance.
