Description
Subtle Scent Redolent of Cinnamon and Cloves
Capturing all the hues of the setting sun, Malibu is one of the most sensational hybrid teas available today. Giant 5-inch blooms slowly open from pointed, ovoid buds to reveal 30 to 35 petals painted with a blend of pink, cream, coral, and gold (with a lovely cream reverse.) Plus, the high-centered blossoms release a subtle but very pleasing scent redolent of cinnamon and cloves. From late spring to mid fall, these exhibition-quality blooms arise profusely on 16- to 24-inch stems, adorning the vigorous, perpetually flowering shrubs, for a display that is simply dazzling in the sunny garden. And, of course, with their great substance and keeping quality, you'll want to snip a few throughout the season to enjoy in vases in your home.

Bred by Dr. Keith Zary and introduced in 2009, Malibu deserves a place of honor in your garden, for not only are its flowers simply stunning, but the disease-resistant plant itself is a pure pleasure. It offers an upright habit of glossy, dark green foliage. There really is nothing not to love about this rose, and here at Jackson & Perkins, it has become a favorite.

Remove spent blooms to encourage more to arise. Prune in spring by removing old or dead wood and any canes that cross. If you live in a warmer climate, cut back the rest of the canes by about one-third; a bit more in colder areas.

She is tall and beautiful
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Daring Spirit wants to be tall after 2-3 years in a big pot. It sends out a long curving cane over 6ft, behaving like a climber. The cane is too stiff to be trained like climber, so I just stake them with a long support. Blooms are beautiful, and no two blooms are identical, and so fragrant. I do wish it stays like normal HT rose, but I still love this rose.

Purchased 5 and 4 are doing well. All five are within 10 feet of each other in a circle. Maybe just a late bloomer.....

I’ve been growing j and p roses for over 40 years in three completely different climates and know that I will only trust j and p to consistently deliver the quality, beauty and diversity I want. Malibu is one of my top 5 favorite roses. It is outstandingly beautiful, it glows with health and vigor. Truly a magnificent specimen. If I heartily recommend this as a rose everyone can enjoy.

Prolific beautiful bloomer
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

April of this year is when we planted this beauty. First bloom was last week and have been enjoying 5 of the most gorgeous, coral pink blooms. What is so stunning is the bud and the full bloom are both stunning in form and color.

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.


Jackson & Perkins World's Finest Roses

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.

Jackson & Perkins became a leader in the world of roses by producing dozens of award-winning roses. Jackson & Perkins has won more All-America Rose Selection awards than any other US company. In addition to the AARS awards, Jackson & Perkins has won numerous other awards, including the coveted Golden Rose of The Hague and the Royal National Rose Society’s President’s International trophy, among others.

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.
