Walking on Sunshine™ Potted Rose Bush

Rosa ‘JACmcady’ Walking on Sunshine™

Walking on Sunshine™ is a floribunda rose bred by Dr. Keith Zary and introduced in the U.S. by Jackson & Perkins around 2010. Its ruffled, bright yellow blooms age softly to primrose and appear in abundant clusters through the season. A light anise fragrance adds character to the flowers, which repeat steadily from late spring to fall. With glossy, disease-resistant foliage and a medium, upright form, Walking on Sunshine™ brings consistent color and cheerful impact to borders and beds.
