Jackson & Perkins Rose of the Year 2021

Few true hybrid tea roses have an old-fashioned flower form. Larger Than Life not only has old-fashioned blooms but also has some of the largest blooms we've seen in the last 20 years.

The very double blooms are up to 5 inches across (sometimes larger) and rich with 80 to 95 petals. The well-formed, softly hued yellow flowers emerge from big bubbly buds and emit a moderate tea and fruit fragrance. Excellent cut flowers, they sit atop long, strong stems; just 4 or 5 blooms in a vase make a healthy bouquet.

The bush has an upright, moderately spreading habit and is fully covered with jumbo-sized, glossy, medium-green foliage. Disease resistant, it is a good choice for the novice gardener.

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

Truly Largest Fragrant Yellow Rose
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is the first tree rose I have ever purchased. After gardening in Iowa for 30 years we retired to Florida. I thought I would attempt roses since I could not grow hostas, peonies or hydrangeas like I could up north. This is advertised as being fragrant and I was not disappointed! The roses are the size of peonies no kidding. The plant is healthy and growing inside my lanai cage, No Japanese beetles attacking my plant! This plant was bareroot when it arrived in October and I had my first blooms within 2-3 weeks. It has had 3 cycles of vigorous blooms. I am ordering another!

Beautiful Rose
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Great first time purchase experience for bareroot rose, arrived in great condition with instructions this spring and it’s been doing great since planting. Wish I could submit photos! They smell amazing and can bloom quite big compared to other hybrid teas. Blooms are yellow and start to loose their saturation with age, so the outer petals are lighter than the inner ones.

I love this rose. I live in Zone 9b (Phoenix). We had more days of temps over 110° than ever but this rose bloomed through it all. Highly recommend.

This is a strikingly beautiful rose. Dark green foliage, gorgeous large yellow blooms. Very resistant to mildew and Phoenix heat. May purchase another if I have room.
