Light My Fire floribunda rose lives up to its name with blazing clusters of rich dark orange blooms that bring energy and excitement to the garden from late spring through early fall. Pointed, ovoid buds open into vibrant 4-inch flowers with approximately 20 petals, creating a bold display that stands out from across the landscape. The glowing blooms are beautifully complemented by glossy, dark green foliage that enhances their fiery color. Bred by Jackson & Perkins and introduced in 2009, this exceptional variety combines eye-catching beauty with one of the most compact growth habits ever developed in a floribunda rose. Reaching just 3 feet tall and wide, its rounded, well-balanced form delivers maximum impact without demanding much space.
Perfect for today's smaller gardens, Light My Fire brings dramatic color to patio pots, borders, and mixed perennial plantings. Its naturally compact size makes it an excellent choice for containers, allowing gardeners to enjoy its brilliant blooms on decks, porches, and balconies. In the landscape, use it to create vibrant focal points or plant in groups for a sweeping display of warm color. Pair it with blue salvias, purple catmint, lavender, or ornamental grasses to create striking contrasts and season-long interest. Whether featured in a cottage garden, contemporary landscape, or dedicated rose bed, this floribunda adds a cheerful burst of color wherever it grows.
Light My Fire performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent watering during the growing season. Space plants approximately 36 inches apart to encourage healthy growth and airflow. This reliable reblooming rose produces repeated flushes of flowers from late spring until early fall, keeping the garden colorful for months. Its compact habit makes maintenance simple while its glossy foliage remains attractive throughout the season. The slight fragrance adds another layer of enjoyment to its brilliant display.

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.

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.
