Purely Amazing

Fantastic Form, Size and Color Honors Beloved World Leader!

Developed and introduced by Jackson & Perkins and selected by the Vatican itself to honor the popular late pontiff, 'Pope John Paul II' is immaculate in durability, design and beauty! Recognized for helping to end Communism in his native Poland and improving relations with other religions, the Rose's candescent color and pure white splendor form a perfect tribute to the second longest-serving pontiff in modern history.

Many consider Pope John Paul II the finest White Rose. The flowers bloom an amazing bright white and they stay an amazing, brilliant white! Unarguably one of the most fragrant Roses ever created, featuring a delicious, citrus scent, Pope John Paul II is blessed with rich green foliage, tall upright stems and its trademark large Hybrid Tea blooms. Regarded as tops in construction and vigor, its resistance to disease is also exceptional.

Though its fragrance and foliage are superior, the most amazing feature of 'Pope John Paul II' are the blooms. Averaging 5 inches in diameter with large petals -- as many as 50 -- in a single flower, they bloom throughout the season in flushes from pointed, ovoid buds.

An obvious choice for cut flowers, Pope John Paul II prefers full sun. Spent blooms should be removed to encourage re-bloom. In spring, cut back canes that cross and remove old or diseased wood. In warmer climates, cut back remaining canes by one-third in warmer climates, slightly more in cooler climates.

It just keeps on giving!!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have had this rose in my garden for over 4 years and it is the most hearty rose I have!! It has withstood June bug ambushes in the unforgiving heat and humidity and comes back like nothing ever happened in a couple of weeks. I planted it where when I open my front door it's the first rose I see everyday. Always a sight to behold with so many heavily fragrant blooms and spectacular color, no matter what kind of day I have it thrills me come home and be greeted by The Pope. I have other J&P roses I've collected in my rose garden over the years but this one is my favorite so far. I get the best compliments on it and enjoy it all summer long!!

Beautiful white color. Good scent. I just wish the stems were stronger. Due to the weakness of the stems it does not show the best in a flower vase.

Pope John Paul II - A Garden Blessing
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I was looking for a fragrant white hybrid tea rose and came across this one. I purchased two and have been very pleased with the blooms and fragrance. The stems are a little weak but it being a newly planted rose I am sure that will improve as roots are established and larger canes develop. This rose got a lot of ohhh's and ahhh's in my late summer garden last year... I would definitely recommend this rose.

Incredible!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I purchased this rose bare root last spring, and it quickly reached 3 ft tall x 3 ft wide, with up to 25 blooms at a time! The scent is beautiful, and the flowers are great for cutting. Everyone needs a JP2 in their garden!
