Award Winning | Intensely Licorice Scented

All-American Rose Selections Winner 2006; Gold Medal at Rose Hills International Rose Trials

If you think that the only roses with great blackspot resistance are the shrub varieties, you haven't met Tahitian Sunset yet. This hybrid tea offers lush, healthy, wonderfully blackspot-free foliage that surrounds huge, fragrant, multicolored blooms of perfect form and exquisite color. You can truly have it all with Tahitian Sunset.

Beautifully high-centered, perfectly symmetrical 5-inch blooms open slowly from pointed ovoid buds on this beautiful hybrid tea. The base color is soft apricot, with overtones of peach, pink, pale rose, and even softest orange. Long-lasting and boasting an anise (licorice) scent, these blooms make excellent cut flowers and really do live up to their name of Tahitian Sunset.

Borne on 14- to 16-inch stems, usually singly but occasionally in small clusters, the flowers begin in late spring or early summer and continue in waves all summer. The heaviest bloom is early, with the largest flowers and the most dramatic play of colors, but the show continues right into autumn in many climates. Such great performance, thanks to healthy blackspot-free foliage that keeps this shrub vigorous right through the worst heat and humidity of August.

Expect Tahitian Sunset to reach around 5 feet high and 3 to 4 feet wide. With excellent branching and an upright habit, Tahitian Sunset is as garden worthy in habit and foliage as it is exhibition-worthy in bloom. It's ideal for the border and doesn't mind the crowding that other roses find uncongenial.

Tahitian Sunset won top honors from the All-America Rose Selection judges when it was introduced in 2006, and has gone on to win many other awards, among them the Gold Medal at Rose Hills. It is rare to find this combination of perfect form and low maintenance garden performance. Don't miss the pleasure and ease of this hybrid tea in your own landscape.

Poor quality rose
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

This rose came kinda dead looking. I've had roses for over 30 years and I thought I could save it. Unfortnately it never did anything. I emailed Jackson and Perkins and received their auto response, but nothing else. I've been a great customer for over 25 years and they didn't have the decency to respond to my email. I guess I won't be purchasing anything more from this company. They care little about their customers!

Great Beginning
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

The rose bush came in excellent condition and was ready to plant after soaking the roots. I appreciated the information insert which gave great and easy to understand directions in caring for the plant. It's been in the ground for two weeks and I see shoots of mew growth forming. I will have to update as the season continues and the blossoms appear.

I've had this rose for close to 10 years, and it's probably my favorite. It's such a carefree rose with a wonderful scent, lots of blooms all summer long. I really don't have to do much maintenance with it, just cut it back as needed.

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.

Today Jackson & Perkins offers over 200 varieties of roses that includes a broad selection of exclusive roses, historical favorites, and innovative genetics from hybridizers around the world. We have two seasons each year for roses. In the spring, we offer bare root rose bushes, bare root 36” trees, 24” patio trees, and container grown roses.
