About Tournament of Roses Potted Rose Bush

Rosa ‘JACient’ Tournament of Roses

Tournament of Roses is a grandiflora with a name as bold as its blooms—light coral-pink with a darker reverse and flawless form that calls to mind pageantry. Pointed buds open into full, 3.5-inch flowers, packed with 25–30 petals, offering a mild, sweet fragrance that carries through the seasons. With vigorous growth, glossy disease-resistant foliage, and continuous flowering, this is a rose built for show—from your garden beds to your vases.
