John F. Kennedy Rose

The John F. Kennedy Rose is an exceptional, multi-stemmed deciduous shrub celebrated for its strong, elegant fragrance. It produces large, pure white blooms that appear in flushes throughout the season, making it excellent for cutting. This variety features disease-resistant, leathery green foliage that maintains its color all season long. It is undaunted by hot summers and is recommended for mass planting, screening, or general garden use. It grows to a mature height of 4 feet and a spread of 3 feet, thriving best in full sun with average to moist soil conditions.
