Jackson & Perkins Simplicity Hedge Rose

This variety is specifically bred for high resistance to rust and mildew, making it a strong performer in humid or rainy climates. While no rose is completely immune, you will find it requires significantly less intervention and chemical spraying than traditional hybrid tea roses.

The Double Red Simplicity is a repeat bloomer, meaning it will provide consistent color from late spring all the way through late fall. You can expect a reliable, continuous display of crimson flowers rather than just one or two flushes.

Yes, its compact, upright habit makes it a great candidate for large containers. Just ensure your pot has excellent drainage and is large enough to accommodate a mature spread of up to three feet.

Yes, this variety is fragrant. While it is primarily valued for its disease resistance and continuous bloom cycle, the plush crimson flowers do offer a pleasant scent.

Since the mature spread is between 24 inches and 3 feet, you should space them about 2.5 to 3 feet apart on center. This allows enough airflow for the plants to thrive while still creating a dense, continuous hedge effect.

This variety is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 10. It is adaptable to a wide range of climates, provided it receives full sun and is planted in moist, well-drained soil.
