Intense citrus fragrance and luminous yellow blooms make Radiant Perfume® a rose you'll want to enjoy in the garden and the vase.
Introduced by Jackson & Perkins in 2005, this fragrant Grandiflora produces 4- to 5-inch golden-yellow blooms on long stems made for cutting.
Radiant Perfume® Grandiflora Rose lives up to its name with an intense citrus fragrance that makes its luminous yellow flowers nearly impossible to pass without stopping. Elegant buds open into large 4- to 5-inch blooms with approximately 25 petals, carried on long stems that make them as rewarding in a vase as they are in the garden. Introduced by Jackson & Perkins in 2005, Radiant Perfume combines memorable fragrance, glowing color, classic flower form, and a tall, upright habit in one striking rose.
The bright flowers open against glossy, dark green foliage that makes their rich yellow color especially dramatic. Blooming in repeat flushes from late spring into fall, this vigorous Grandiflora grows approximately 5 to 6 feet tall and brings height, fragrance, and beautiful cutting flowers to beds and borders.

Why This Rose Stands Out
Yellow roses are naturally attention-getting, but Radiant Perfume® offers something equally memorable after you notice the color: fragrance. Its strong citrus perfume gives the large golden-yellow flowers another dimension, making this a rose to experience rather than simply admire from across the garden.
Jackson & Perkins introduced Radiant Perfume in 2005, and its combination of fragrance, large flowers, long cutting stems, and substantial upright growth continues to make it a distinctive Grandiflora. Plant it where you can enjoy its perfume outdoors, then cut a few stems to bring that same fragrance inside.

Purchased this grandiflora as tree rose. When it arrived looking very sad, I notified the seller. They told me not to worry and give it plenty of water and wait two weeks. Well, they were right! I noticed little spouts potting out all over. Yes, my rose tree was alive. Now it is growing branches. So happy, the flowers are next. Not sorry I bought my rose tree. Waiting to see the beautiful yellow roses and enjoy the strong scented perfume. Very happy with my purchase! Thank you!

Radiant Perfume Hybrid Tea Rose
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars
This is the best smelling Rose I have grown. I have 4 of them. However I'm not sure where the person that said they are disease resistant lives but I live in Ohio and they are prone to Black spot. If I treat them aggressively they do well. I would like more but they are always SOLDOUT!

This is my attempt at writing a review here. This product arrived dry and has not shown any green yet. We are talking over a month now. Single star rating the other two attempts. Let us see what this one does. Also sent an email, yet have not received any response.

Stunning Rose!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars
Beautiful rose. I have mine planted in very large pots and they are growing great. The first summer, mine went from very small size to over 4 feet tall. Wow! They also gave me dozens and dozens of blooms. Yes, they are pictured as bright yellow. They are not a bright yellow rose, but, more of a golden yellow color. Still very beautiful. If you want a true yellow rose, this is not the one. I purchased 3 and wish I had gotten 3 more. Try them. You will not be sorry!
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.
