Jackson & Perkins' tree roses are exceptional for many reasons. Not only are they healthy, vigorous, and remarkably beautiful, but they are also more robust than the industry tree roses because of our rootstock.
Jackson & Perkins' tree roses are also 4-budded as opposed to the industry-typical 2-budded varieties. This means if you were to look down on the top of the tree, a 2-budded tree rose would have buds at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions. A 4-budded tree, however, would have buds as 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock— a distinctly fuller and more well-balanced tree!
