Our Lady of Guadalupe Floribunda Rose

From the soft pink color to the sweet fragrance, Our Lady of Guadalupe Floribunda Rose is a tribute to a simpler, perhaps more elegant, time of Sunday drives and afternoon tea. A Jackson & Perkins original, this floribunda is versatile and extremely durable that blooms heavily early and continues vigorously throughout the season.

Producing generous clusters of silver-tinged, 3-inch blooms featuring layers of ruffled, whorled petals, Our Lady of Guadalupe Floribunda Rose maintains its vigor through the hottest, most humid days of summer. Opening from pointed buds into high-centered blooms containing as many as 25 petals, the shrub can grow to 3 feet high and wide, making it an excellent option for low hedge, a border accent or the centerpiece of a floral display.

The sweet fragrance of the blooms add to the comfortable, relaxed ambiance created by a cultivar with the charms of days gone by but the strength, vivid color, productivity and disease resistance of the most modern roses. The vigorousness of the diminutive shrub will pleasantly surprise first-time growers, allowing frequent snips for cut flowers.

Due to its compact size, Our Lady of Guadalupe Floribunda Rose can be grown outside its normal climate range with winter protection. The durable shrub is resistant to pests, powdery mildew and rust. Few roses are as productive with as little maintenance.

The beautiful cultivar thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Spring pruning is recommended as is the removal of dead and old wood. Canes should be trimmed by about one-third in the winter, more in colder climates.
