All of us here at Jackson & Perkins are delighted by this hybrid tea, and we think that once you begin growing it, you will be too. We were initially bewitched by Voodoo's beautiful color changes, but since growing this rose in our own gardens, we have come to admire the power of its vigor and disease resistance nearly as much as all those sweet-scented, ultra-colorful flowers.
The blooms are truly magnificent. Urn-shaped buds open to reveal bright yellow petals washed in orange and peach tones. Before you can turn around, the orange and pink have dominated, soon to be flushed with brilliant scarlet. At the height of the season, when this very floriferous shrub is covered in fully double 5- to 6-inch blooms in all stages of changing color, the sight is as bold and refreshing as popsicles on a hot summer day.
Wonderfully fragrant and quite long-lasting after cutting, Voodoo is a cut flower lover's dream. But this is one rose that does not need to be tucked away in the cutting garden. Tall and very well-branched, this shrub is clothed in glossy, leathery foliage from spring until hard frost, standing up well to rough weather. In fact, it takes its cultivar name of 'AROmiclea' from its behavior in the trial gardens the very first year it was grown for production. The gardeners tending the young plants were amazed by how neat and healthy this rose was, never needing to have yellowed or diseased leaves removed or stems cut away. Voodoo earned the nickname "Mister Clean," and the first letters of each word in that nickname became part of its official varietal name: miclea. Now that's a testimony to how it will hold up in your summer garden.
Voodoo was introduced in 1984 by noted breeder Jack Christensen, who selected it by crossing the seed parents Camelot x First Prize x Typhoo Tea with the pollen parent Lolita. It has stood the test of time marvelously. Free-flowering, large-flowered, colorful, ultra-fragrant, and vigorous—there is simply nothing to dislike about this exceptional hybrid tea. The All-America Rose Selection judges apparently agree, because they handed Voodoo top honors in 1986. Thirty seasons later, it remains one of the most highly sought roses for American gardens. We here at Jackson & Perkins are honored to make it available to you.

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 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 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.
