Honey Perfume™ Potted Rose Bush

Rosa ‘JACarque’ Honey Perfume

Honey Perfume is a floribunda rose introduced in the U.S. by Jackson & Perkins in 2004, featuring lush apricot-yellow blooms—each about 4–5 inches across and packed with 30+ ruffled petals—that fade toward ivory with age. Every flower exudes a spicy, sweet fragrance and is borne on a compact, well-branched bush that blooms continuously from spring through fall.
