We’re thrilled to announce the winning entry in our 2025 Rose Naming Contest: Ruffled Romance!
This summer, we invited rose lovers from across the country to share their creativity and help us name our newest introduction. The response was overwhelming—nearly 5,000 submissions came pouring in, each one reflecting a passion for gardening and a love for the beauty of roses. After much consideration, one name rose above the rest, capturing both the charm and elegance of this exquisite new variety.
Ruffled Romance is a radiant addition to the Jackson & Perkins legendary collection. This floribunda variety features medium-to-large, cupped double blooms in a glowing golden yellow, kissed with delicate pink blush. Clusters of shapely pointed buds open into full, decorative flowers, perfectly set against a backdrop of dark, glossy green foliage. A moderate, fruity fragrance enhances the garden experience, while its excellent performance ensures it will thrive in landscapes and containers alike.
The winning entry, Ruffled Romance, now takes its place in rose history—joining the legacy of roses named and cherished by generations of gardeners. The winner of the contest not only receives the honor of naming this exceptional rose but also takes home a prize package valued at over $600, including:
We are deeply grateful to every gardener who shared their creativity with us. Each submission was a reflection of the passion, imagination, and artistry that make rose gardening so special. While only one name could be chosen, every entry contributed to the excitement and celebration of this remarkable new variety.
Ruffled Romance will be available for purchase soon, exclusively from Jackson & Perkins. Sign up for our emails to enjoy exclusive offers, early access to new arrivals, and expert tips—and be the first to add this unforgettable rose to your garden.
