Award-winning form, color, and garden performance

One of the rare few Miniature Roses to win AARS honors 2001.

All-America Rose Selections (AARS) Winner 2001

Miniature roses that have won an All-America Rose Selections are scarce, yet Sun Sprinkles Miniature Rose was given this honor the year it was introduced. This lightly fragrant, exquisitely formed miniature rose sets color-drenched yellow blooms in waves all summer long on petite shrubs that are hardy through Zone 6 in the North and quite prepared to withstand the heat of summer.

These blooms, borne on stems 8 to 10 inches long, arise from classic pointed ovoid buds and spiral open with a high center and tightly packed whorls of fragrant yellow petals. Expect up to 35 petals on each bloom, which reach about 2 inches wide when fully extended.

Sun Sprinkles Miniature Rose is compact enough for a container but is showy enough to make quite an impact in the garden as well. The long-stemmed blooms are suitable for cutting, and the habit of this shrub is well-branched and healthy, with glossy dark green foliage that keeps Sun Sprinkles Miniature Rose looking good right through fall. Reaching about 2 feet high and wide, Sun Sprinkles Miniature Rose packs a lot of color and texture into a small frame.

And this mini comes by its good looks and garden strength honestly. Sun Sprinkles Miniature Rose seed parent is Yellow Jacket and one of its pollen parents is Ferris Wheel, both renowned for their exquisite color and form. Sun Sprinkles Miniature Rose was bred in 1992 but not released until 2001, when Sun Sprinkles Miniature Rose immediately won an AARS award.

I bought two of these 1 1/2 years ago and they started growing like crazy once I had them in the ground. The next thing I knew, they quit blooming and growing. Turned out my neighbor's gardener was watering his grass and forgot to shut it off a few times. My yellow rose bush developed root rot. I hate destroying beautiful plants, so I dug her up, dug the hole back out (very smelly job), rinsed her roots off carefully, and replanted her. She has continued to thrive and blooms multiple times a year.

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.
