Jackson & Perkins Rose of the Year 1968

Turn your garden into a fragrant cloud with the powerful, delightful perfume of this lovely rose. The fragrance is legendary for its complexity and its intensity. Notes of citrus, spice, fruit, and rosy damask all mix together. The overall effect has been compared to the smell of cloves or pumpkin pie. What a beautiful way to make your garden smell delicious.

A treat for the eyes as well as the nose, Fragrant Cloud offers up unique coral-washed blooms with intensely plush petals. This tetraploid is a child of Prima Ballerina and Montezuma, and thanks to this pedigree, it exhibits fantastic garden performance, with vigorous growth and healthy foliage. It especially shines in colder climates where other roses might struggle. The color only improves in cool weather.

The bloom show begins in early summer, the pointed ovoid buds opening a soft coral red and maturing to a darker geranium red. The blooms are not only overly large (measuring 5 inches wide on average), but also highly symmetric and very full, packed with up to 30 petals. They grow singly or in small clusters, each fragrant bloom presenting a shining example of what a hybrid tea should look like. And the combination of impeccable form and unparalleled fragrance makes them the perfect choice for the vase. This floriferous variety sets its gorgeous, fragrant blooms on until frost.

Plant this hybrid tea in a sunny, well-drained spot. Deadhead promptly to encourage quick rebloom. Prune dead, diseased, or crossing canes in early spring to encourage better airflow.

Our Favorite Rose

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is a rose that we discovered almost 50 years ago and have enjoyed ever since. It’s bloom shape, aroma and color are classic. We have planted it in the yard of every residence we have had since that first home and it has been given as a gift in many instances.

Doing Well

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Purchased this 4 years ago here in Northeast MA. The aroma is unreal! I get comments from everyone who stops to grab a sniff! Its not 100% though, it is temperamental. Too much rain it will stop flowering. Winter deep cold will kill some branches. Overall though its doing well. A nice addition to our garden. 4 stars!

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.


Jackson and Perkins One Year Roses

What to Expect

If this is the first time your are planting a bare root rose, you may be surprised by their brown roots and dormant stem. However, bare root roses provide the easiest and fastest way of planting roses without the concern of transplant shock.

Bare root roses may appear to be dead upon arrival, but the plants actually have the advantage of being able to focus their energies on strong root development rather than having to support an extensive and stressful growth of leaves right after planting.

Bare root roses are the best option for early-season planting. In fact, late winter is the best time to plant. Our bare root roses are fully established plants that meet the highest industry standards. They arrive dormant, which makes them ideal for planting. The roots get to acclimate to native soil, as opposed to the packaged soil. Of course, since they are not in soil when you get them, there's no mess to contend with.

Bareroot Roses

Due to the nature of plants and the fact that some are younger than others, there will be some variance in the size of our bareroot roses. However, they have all gone through the same quality inspections in order to make sure they meet the high standards we expect from all of our roses.

Gold Standard Stamp of Approval

Each Jackson and Perkins rose is individually inspected and graded to meet our standards for shape, viability, fragrance, and disease resistance.

Jackson and Perkins Exclusive Preservation Process

Our roses are maintained in a suspended state of growth utilizing a state-of-the-art wet cooler. By providing a uniform storage temperature just above freezing and employing a fog system to provide a consistent humidity of 100%, we are able to ensure that each of our roses remains fully hydrated and does not come out of its dormancy before leaving our facility. Bare root roses ordered elsewhere often arrive dry and shriveled. Through our exclusive preservation process, Jackson and Perkins is able to provide a fully hydrated premium bare root rose. Prior to entering the shipping container, we carefully wrap the root system to preserve the moisture and to provide a top-quality rose that is in optimal planting condition.

Gold Standard Stamp of Approval

Our Superior Bare Root Rose Growing Process

Our roses are hand budded by professional rose budders to ensure you receive a true-to-variety quality rose. This takes a special skill. These professional hand budders make sure the bud union lives and the rose plant becomes the premium Jackson and Perkins rose variety desired.

At the end of the rose growth cycle, when the rose plant has hardened off and is ready to be harvested, the roses are hand selected according to our top-quality Jackson and Perkins rose standards.
