Description
Sunny and Sweet as Honey

Refreshing color and fragrance on a compact, disease-resistant shrub!

Even the bees will be jealous when they catch wind of the powerfully sweet fragrance of Honey Bouquet™! The blooms are not only sweetly perfumed, but also petal-packed and richly colored.

Honey Bouquet™ sets flushes of pointed, ovoid buds throughout the season, and in summer every welcoming bloom offers 35 to 40 petals and spreads 4 to 4¾ inches wide. The low shrub grows only about 3 feet tall, but still sets ample clusters of its colorful, fragrant blooms.

An exceptionally versatile cultivar, Honey Bouquet™ tolerates more shade than other roses, and even does well in hot, humid weather! The semi-glossy, dark green foliage is resistant to both rust and mildew, making this little shrub nearly unstoppable!

The pedigree of 'Honey Bouquet' includes Friesensõhne® and Amber Queen®, among others. It was bred by Jackson and Perkins in 1999, then introduced to American gardeners in 2001.

Plant 'Honey Bouquet' in a well-drained spot that receives full sun. Prune it in spring to remove dead or diseased wood, as well as canes that cross, canes that are weak, and canes growing towards the center of the plant. Then educe the remaining canes by about one third, or even more in colder climates. If winter temperatures are expected to be below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, provide some winter protection like a Styrofoam cone, a hill of soil and mulch, or a collar of wire mesh that can be filled with straw.

FLORIFEROUS!!

A winner in my SoCal garden zone 9B/10. Big yellow blooms, no disease. Has many, many flowers, shorter and bushy.

Color not accurate
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

The blooms are nicely shaped and wonderfully fragrant, but the color is NOT as pictured. It is not a cream but a yellow. Unfortunately, I wanted it for its cream color. If you're looking for a yellow-colored rose, this is a nice one. But not if you're looking for more of a cream.

Happy to see it available again!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is a very EASY rose. I have had it for about 10 years now and can easily say that when asked about my favorite rose, this is in my top 4. I have over 65 roses and this one and Pearl Essence (another favorite!) were among my first). Honey Bouquet seems naturally resistant to pests - bugs as well as molds and mildew. When other roses are being affected by pests, this is the one that nothing seems to like. It is also somewhat shade tolerant. Lovely fragrance, excellent for cutting, and a beautiful yellow with an almost buttery looking center as it opens. I am really glad to see it offered by J&P again!

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.

The Jackson & Perkins Difference

Jackson & Perkins is one of the most recognized names in the gardening industry. In fact, for decades rose lovers have considered Jackson & Perkins synonymous with great roses. How has Jackson & Perkins earned this reputation? Simple, for over 100 years we have brought our customers the world's finest selection of roses.

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. Our rosarians are looking for rose bushes that have stronger disease resistance, vigorous growth habits, and clean healthy foliage. When it comes to blooms, they are looking for improved flower form, unique colors, and strong fragrance.

Today Jackson & Perkins offers over 200 varieties of roses that includes a broad selection of exclusive roses, historical favorites, and innovative genetics from hybridizers around the world. We have two seasons each year for roses. In the spring, we offer bare root rose bushes, bare root 36” trees, 24” patio trees, and container grown roses. Our fall season is all bush roses, and they are available in 2QT and 1GL containers.
