Mysterious

Mysterious is a floribunda rose bred by Nola M. Simpson in New Zealand and is available exclusively in the U.S. through Jackson & Perkins.

As part of the J&P Roses Around the World Collection, Mysterious showcases the diversity and innovation that define Jackson & Perkins. This inaugural selection highlights our dedication to introducing gardeners to rare and exceptional roses. Nola Simpson's nephew, John Ford, continues her tradition of breeding hardy, healthy roses that are not only striking in appearance but also uniquely rare in the U.S. thanks to our exclusive rights. These award-winning, internationally celebrated roses are a perfect addition to any distinctive garden.

Mysterious blooms abundantly in recurring waves throughout the season, from late spring until late fall. Its 3-inch semidouble flowers, featuring 9 to 16 russet brown petals and a cream center, are borne in small clusters. These mildly fragrant blooms are perfect for cutting, with just one snip creating a stunning bouquet.

This compact rose bush has an upright growth habit and excellent disease resistance, making it highly versatile. Floribunda roses like Mysterious thrive in a variety of settings, from garden beds and borders to hedges, landscapes, and container gardens.
