Description
Jackson & Perkins Floribunda of the Year 2000 | Strong Citrus Scent

Paint your landscape an outrageous shade of orange this season. Outrageous is remarkable for its compact growth habit, big tangerine-colored flowers, strong fragrance, and good disease resistance. The fantastically bright orange blooms make a great accent in the garden and create an unparalleled visual impact when grown in groups.

Each petal is painted a salmon orange and tinged by the yellow on their reverse. These fully double blooms pack in about 30 colorful petals and spread about 4 inches wide, making them impressive cut-flowers, which also happen to last well in the vase. This floriferous floribunda blooms repeatedly in waves, starting in late spring and continuing all the way into early fall.

Resistant to mildew and rust, this trouble-free variety thrives under normal garden conditions. Bred by Jackson and Perkins in 1998, Outrageous is a child of another JP favorite: Summer Fashion. Outrageous gets its two-toned pattern from its parent, except Outrageous uses decidedly less subtle colors.

The habit is upright and spreading, creating a lovely shape to prominently display the vibrant blooms. Because it is very thorny, this shrub should be grown in borders and corners of the yard. Plant Outrageous in a well-drained spot that receives full sun. In the spring it should be pruned to remove old or diseased wood and reduce the height by about one-third (or more in colder climates). In cold climates, provide spring frost protection.

Agree with Linda A
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

I believe this rose was marked incorrectly, as it looks NOTHING like the photo, as this other customer expressed. Flowers are tiny and a bright orange/pink!!! Very disappointed, as I needed that soft muted shade of orange and this is far from it!

It's my favorite
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have MANY Jackson Perkins roses and this is one of my favorites. So much that I dug it up when I sold my house and brought it to my new garden in a new state. It was the central focus in my previous rose garden and the fragrance is fantastic.

outrageous in a container
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I put my Outrageous rose into a terracotta container and a different rose direct in the soil. This outrageous rose seemed to do better in a container, and my other rose died probably due to a neighbor who had their lawn treated. It is currently about 2ft high with four skinny stems. It looks really beautiful and the orange coloring is very bright.

What a disappointment
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I was so excited about the description of Outrageous, but what I received is nothing like it. Small red and pink striped/marble flowers that look stunted. Virtually no fragrance. Two stars instead of one simply because it is a healthy plant.

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.

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.
