Description
Jackson & Perkins Floribunda of the Year 2005 | Golden Rose of Rose Hills 2004

Every petal is suffused with a bronzed apricot tan on this stunning Jackson & Perkins introduction. Exquisitely symmetrical, opening from pointed, ovoid buds, these fully double flowers exude a light spicy aroma as they gradually unfurl in the summer sun, revealing tones of orange and peach that evoke long lazy August afternoons. Treat yourself to the beauty and fragrance of this floribunda this season.

Fully 4 inches wide and boasting 25 petals, these blooms arise in large clusters all over the shrub. The flowering occurs in waves, beginning with the first breath of warm summer weather and continuing, in moderate and warm climates, into fall. This is a bloom to be cut for the vase and appreciated up close, but also a fine garden performer, its unusual color standing out nicely in the perennial or shrub border, its clove-like scent perfuming the warm summer air.

Best of all, this shrub is quite disease resistant, staving off two of the worst rose perils: rust and powdery mildew. This makes it ideal for climates subject to late-afternoon summer rainstorms, for instance, as well as perpetually humid or damp areas. Plant it fearlessly in the crowded garden without worrying that it needs extra space for air circulation. Tuscan Sun can take it.

And it comes by this disease resistance honestly. Its seed parent is Sam McGredy's Singin' in the Rain, bred especially for tolerance of damp and moisture; its pollen parent is a cross of two Bill Warriner classics: Pink Pollyanna (one of our all-time favorites here at Jackson & Perkins) and Impatient, a perpetual-flowering variety that might be responsible for Tuscan Sun's heavy and frequent intervals of bloom.

Tuscan Sun reaches up to 4 feet tall and spreads up to 3 feet wide, with excellent branching. Use it in large containers as well as the garden. We predict that you will become as enamored of these large, perfectly formed apricot-orange blooms as we are.

A Favorite
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've ordered this rose twice in the past 5 years. The 1st time around it did not survive a freak ice storm in February in East Texas. I was heartbroken, so I ordered it again last Fall. It has been blooming constantly here since early Spring, and is weathering the summer heat well. The color is glorious when it is newly budded. I confess that I am not as happy with the way the color fades out and how quickly that happens. But that could be due to deficiencies in my rosarian skills, so I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. The aroma is also a delightful plus. All in all, this has become a favorite in my garden.

I left this rose behind when we sold our home so I bought another one since I missed this variety so much. The bare root arrived timely and was in very good shape. It has now been planted a few weeks and the tiny leaf sprouts are starting to appear. I am very excited to enjoy these roses once again and hopefully within a few months we will see some buds.

Beautiful!

I received this bareroot rose in spring of 2021, and I have gotten so much enjoyment out of it ever since! It has been planted in a 22 inch pot in partial afternoon sun, and yet it's still bloomed beautifully and prolifically. It is October and there are still so many buds I'm expecting to open soon! I have been occasionally deadheading, watering, and fertilizing with a combo fertilizer and aphid killer, but overall it was much lower maintenance than I was anticipating. I will say the color doesn't really match the photos - it opens coral/orange, then becomes bright pink, then fades to pink/white. Still, so happy I got this rose, and so looking forward to its blooms for many years to come!

This rose Bush provides a consistent surprise in stunning beauty. The Bush is growing in four different places in my yard, one receives partial shade,one has full sun,while two are getting full sunshine in the morning to early afternoon and filtered sunlight until late evening. What this produces are very different blumes dependent upon temperature and exposure.

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.

When it comes to blooms, they are looking for improved flower form, unique colors, and strong fragrance.
