Bred right here at Jackson & Perkins by hybridizer Keith Zary, Pure Perfume Shrub Rose gets its beauty and vigor from the two Jackson & Perkins roses that were crossed to become its parents: Fabulous. x Perfume Perfection. Pure Perfume Shrub Rose is the only rose we have ever grown that smells exactly like a freshly cut grapefruit. Pure Perfume Shrub Rose takes “strong fragrance” to a whole new level: Pure Perfume Shrub Rose is intense and intoxicating.
Pure Perfume Shrub Rose is a garden workhorse, and from the first hint of hot summer weather, this vigorous shrub begins setting masses of pointed, ovoid buds that burst into old-fashioned pure white blooms, packed with 100 elegantly cupped petals. The first flush or two are the heaviest of the season, but new buds continue to arise in waves all summer and well into fall in warmer climates.
The rounded, well-branched habit and dense, lush foliage make this shrub suitable for use as a hedge, but Pure Perfume Shrub Rose is lovely in a mixed bed or border and a perfect addition to a bouquet garden as Pure Perfume Shrub Rose provides beaucoup English style blooms for seemingly endless cut arrangements.
