Mauvelous Floribunda Rose

Description

Rare mauve color, strong lemon fragrance, and abundant repeat bloom make Mauvelous an unforgettable Floribunda Rose.

Mauvelous Floribunda Rose earns its place in the Jackson & Perkins collection with a combination few roses can match - distinctive mauve color, strong lemon fragrance, and abundant repeat bloom. Generous clusters open in deep mauve shades with a softer reverse, creating depth and dimension that stand apart from more traditional pink, red, and yellow roses. Add glossy foliage, excellent disease resistance, and dependable flowering from late spring through late fall, and Mauvelous becomes as rewarding to grow as it is memorable to see.

Bred by renowned hybridizer Dr. Keith Zary and introduced by Jackson & Perkins in 2018, Mauvelous brings premium color and fragrance to borders, perennial gardens, mass plantings, and cutting gardens. Its upright, vigorous habit supports long flowering stems, while clusters of blooms create a generous display throughout the season.

Why You'll Love It

Rare deep mauve blooms with a soft, lighter reverse
Strong lemon fragrance adds a fresh sensory dimension
Generous flower clusters provide abundant season-long color
Reliable repeat bloom from late spring through late fall
Excellent disease resistance with glossy dark green foliage
Long stems make beautiful fresh-cut arrangements

Why This Rose Stands Out

Jackson & Perkins selects roses that offer a compelling balance of beauty, distinction, and garden performance, and Mauvelous delivers all three. Its unusual mauve coloration gives the flowers an almost luminous quality, while the lighter reverse adds visual depth as each bloom opens. The fresh lemon fragrance makes the experience even more distinctive, giving gardeners something memorable beyond color alone.

Clusters can contain up to nine fully double, ruffled flowers, each measuring approximately 4 inches across with up to 35 petals. The upright plant reaches about 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide, providing strong landscape presence without becoming unwieldy. Whether grouped for greater impact, placed among perennials, or grown for cutting, Mauvelous offers a sophisticated color story with dependable modern performance.

Amazing Rose Bush

I bought this shrub in late spring and now in the fall, it’s gained so much height already. I’ve had about 3-4 flushes of roses since. The flowers are abundant and are so fragrant. They look absolutely stunning when in bloom. A total gem in the garden.

Great Looking Shrub

This rose bush arrived quickly and in great condition. I planted it right away in a raised bed with other roses and am looking forward to blooms next spring. There is already new growth on it and I hope and pray the rose can stand up to our extreme heat and humidity in the summer.

Small but healthy

I was unsure about ordering such a small rose bush online, but it arrived in good shape and even had a small bud that just opened this morning.

Look forward to enjoying the blooms next year!

Plant was delivered in a healthy condition. I noticed some new green shoots already. I sincerely hope it survives the winter.

Long lasting beauty

This is one of early roses I bought from JP. It blooms in spring and re-bloom until fall. It is fragrant. Even though it’s less than 3 feet wide, it likes space and air. I enjoy this beauty in my garden.

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.

Whether you are new to roses or are an experienced rosarian, our online store has rose varieties for you. Our website is packed with information. You will find each rose fully described and lots of articles and videos that will help answer all your questions. Our call center staff have decades of experience and are just a phone call away.

Jackson & Perkins is here to help you in every way on your rose-growing journey. There is no other plant in the garden that comes in more colors, fragrances, shapes, or forms, or performs as many functions than roses do.

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 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 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.
