Received this rose and planted as directed. I am surprised with how beautiful this rose looks like, exactly as the picture.
I ordered two of these roses. I planted one in full sun, although this seems to be too much for most roses I have planted in my coastal Florida yard. The other I planted in a little dappled shade. Both are doing great and I couldn't be happier with them! Full of big beautiful blooms.
I can't believe there's a rose out there called NORA VIRGINIA that's my name. I was named after my great grandmother [ Nora ] and Virginia was my mamaw's name. It's a beautiful rose. I just can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!! I also am a woman of faith, family, hard worker, try to see good in all people.
This new hybrid Tea is vigorous and large flowered. It blooms both singly and in clusters and had a subtle combination of peach, yellow, cream and pink. I’ve not seen any disease on this rose, but I have sprayed it twice this season. I’d recommend it to anyone who likes long-stemmed hybrid teas. I

Bareroot roses are the most common form of roses for spring and early season planting, and come in two types: grafted and ownroot.
Grafted roses, sometimes referred to as budded bareroot 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.
Ownroot 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 bareroot 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 bareroot rose, all our roses meet the same rigorous standards of quality.
So, not sure which type of bareroot rose you should choose? Don't worry, we've got that covered. We've researched which varieties of bareroot roses grow better as grafted or ownroot, 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 bareroot 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 bareroot 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.
California provides one of the finest rose-growing environments in the world. All of our roses are grown in soil that is tested and analyzed to ensure they are grown with the exact level of essential nutrients needed. The proper amounts of fertilizer, water, and nutrients are then added to the roses during their active growth cycle by our experienced rose growers.
Each rose is hand selected and prepared by seasoned professional rose growers. Our experienced growers are continually evaluating and testing the roses in the fields to ensure maximum rose health.
All of this tender loving care under the generous California sun results in a young but vigorously growing rose plant with a root system that is ready for fast blooming in your rose garden.
Jackson and Perkins exclusive rose varieties have been bred to exhibit the most preferred rose characteristics for rose gardeners. It takes many years to develop a single rose variety, and our rose breeders have painstakingly evaluated, tested, and grown superior new genetic features into these new rose varieties for introduction.
The healthy rose plant canes are now hand groomed for the customers' garden presentation. The roses are then harvested at the perfect time in preparation for shipping and customer planting. All of these steps, from rose research, planting, budding, growing, harvesting and storing, are essential to ensure you receive a healthy, vigorous Jackson & Perkins rose plant, the WORLD’S FINEST ROSE.
The essay below was submitted during our Women's Celebration Essay Contest. Through this contest we were able to hear the stories of many accomplished women. The winning essay was submitted by Carolyn Davis. She wrote to tell us the story of her mother, Nora Virginia Davis.
My mother, Mrs. Nora Virginia Davis (Virginia), valued Faith, Family and Hard Work. She accepted Christ at an early age, and later made sure her children had a faith-based education.
Virginia Williamson was born in New Hebron, Mississippi, and graduated from Prentiss Industrial Institute (high school) at the age of 15. She attended Tougaloo College, taking courses such as Survey of Biological Science, Elementary French and Home Making. After two years, she left Tougaloo and moved to Chicago to live with her mother and aunt. Having an interest in science and the medical field, she began working as a Technologist at Cook County Hospital's Department of Pathology (now known as Cook County Health, Pathology, Clinical & Anatomic Laboratories).
On Cook County Hospital's campus she met the love of her life! They married a year later in 1954. Though she would eventually rise to lead one of the electron microscopy labs, her values of Faith, Family and Hard Work led her to take an eight-year leave of absence from her work at the hospital (1960-1967) to serve her family as a full-time Home Maker. It was during this time that my Mom participated in testing roses for Jackson and Perkins. She loved roses so much! My Dad remembers going to my Mom’s garden every morning before work so he could clip a rose to put on his suit jacket lapel.
After I bought my first house, my Mom and Dad traveled from Illinois to Maryland to help make my house into a home. Within the first 24 hours of their visit, my Mom had planted annuals in my front yard! She would regularly repeat the verse, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," teaching her children the importance of being generous and the importance of the phrase,"Merci Beaucoup," and it's meaning. She encouraged us to extend God's blessings to others, and to give thanks for God's blessings given to us. Mom truly led by example...I am so happy to have a treasure chest of her gifts, cards and thank you notes!
My Mom also loved to cook. Over the years she became famous for her homemade grape jelly, peach preserves, ice cream, fruitcake, warm banana pudding, strawberry cobbler, custard, prime rib, sweet potato soufflé, turkey and dressing, shrimp and rice, shrimp gumbo, fried chicken, sweet tea, and all varieties of farm fresh vegetables. She made sure I had a subscription to Southern Living magazine and we would spend hours talking about different ways to prepare meals.
Mom also supported our activities outside of our home. She attended just about every school event for her children and grandchildren, from sporting events to plays and even traveled to New York with my Dad and brother to make dinner and have a table set with beautiful flowers after my first day on my first job. Traveling was also a passion of hers. She traveled with my Dad to all 50 states and across five continents, many times with family and many times with members of her neighborhood Bridge Club.
Mom completed her undergraduate studies at Roosevelt University in Chicago once she went back to work and she began graduate work at Chicago State University. Her career as a Technologist and Electron Microscopist spanned more than 30 years. In addition, she and my Dad celebrated their 64th Wedding Anniversary last June. She was truly committed to her Faith, Family and Hard Work!
I am so honored to enter my Mom in this Women's Celebration Contest. After Mom passed this year on February 28 following a four-week stay in the hospital, I ordered a Jackson and Perkins catalog to begin the process of planning a Memorial Rose Garden for her. Looking through the catalog, I was excited to see that some of my memories of her and her impact on her family and those around her could be shared in this Women's Celebration Essay Contest!! Merci Beaucoup!!
