Strike It Rich® Grandiflora Rose

Description
2007 All-American Rose Selection | Highly Fragrant Blooms
Strike it Rich is a magnificent grandiflora that won All-American Rose Selection honors in 2007, and once you see it, you'll know exactly why here at Jackson and Perkins, we feel it's a must-have for any rose lover.

Throughout the growing season, it sets large clusters of extra-long, elegantly pointed ovoid buds that offer a mixture of rose, pink, and gold tones on red stems. Once open, they reveal fully double, 5-inch blossoms, each comprised of 30 petals that are a rich golden-yellow highlighted with orange-pink. And the fragrance is a wonderfully welcome added bonus: a strong citrusy clove scent. Long-lasting and perfectly formed, they are simply stunning in cutflower bouquets.

Strike it Rich is vigorous, well branched, bushy, and naturally disease resistant, reaching a mature size of 2 to 3 feet wide and 5 to 6 feet high—it creates an impressive display in the sunny garden. The glossy, dark green leaves look lovely even when not adorned with the vibrantly colored flowers, and the blooms it sets arrive in abundance, gracing the plant in flushes over a long season. You'll feel like you've hit the jackpot with this gorgeous grandiflora gracing your garden.

Plant Strike it Rich in well-drained soil in full sun. Prune in the spring by removing old and dead wood as well as canes that cross. If you live in warmer climates, we recommend you cut back the remaining canes by about one-third, a bit more if you live in colder areas.

Beautiful blooms
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have had this rose since 2012, an AARS winner in 2007. The blooms are beautiful, with colors from light apricot to a soft blush of rosy red, and lightly fragrant. I don’t have the courage to cut it back enough because it gets quite tall and lanky, over six feet, and no more than two and one half feet wide. The leaves are about average size, not glossy, but stay healthy. Definitely a keeper.

My favorite
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

New to growing roses, I planted 14 varieties this year, and this is my favorite one. The color is so striking (and rich), yet not overwhelming. Fragrances to me is mild, yet sweet and fresh. Very delightful and beautiful shape.

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.
