Miss Behavin'™ Floribunda Rose

Come for the intensely colorful pink-and-yellow blooms, stay for the alluring fragrance and very dark, glossy foliage! Miss Behavin'™ is a ravishing floribunda rose that also happens to have fantastic disease resistance.

Hybridized by Jackson and Perkins in 1992 from Tournament of Roses, this compact shrub (reaching just 3½ feet high and 2½ feet wide) bears the same abundant clusters of loose, open blooms, only this time painted with vibrant pink tone! Since its introduction in 2001 it has been lighting up gardens all over the country all season long! Very floriferous, Miss Behavin'™ blooms continuously in flushes all season long, offering its impressive clusters on 14 to 18-inch-long stems.

The pointed buds slowly spiral open to reveal about 25 petals, spreading out to form a cup shape about 4 inches wide. By the end of their life-span, the blooms fully open and the petals hang loosely in the air, revealing the unique yellow markings on their reverses. Leave the blooms on the plant or snip them for cut-flowers and watch them open slowly in the vase!

The foliage is exceptionally attractive foliageboth very dark and very glossy. This adds a great contrast to the light colors of the bloom, bringing depth to the composition. Highly disease resistant, Miss Behavin'™ displays excellent resistance to mildew and rust (due in no small part to the glossy leaves). It is susceptible to blackspot, but is robust enough to tolerate the disease well. The fragrance is mild, but lovely — be sure to lean in and take a sniff of the fruity, apple-like scent!
