CARIBBEAN BREEZE

Bring a touch of the tropics to your sunny border or best patio container with Caribbean Breeze, a glorious Jackson & Perkins exclusive floribunda rose with petals combining all the hot tropical colors of summer. Redolent of fresh-cut peaches, this rose flowers heavily in early season, then repeats merrily all summer and into fall. Caribbean Breeze is a must-have for big color in a small space.

These blooms open from classic pointed, ovoid buds, but as the petals begin to unfurl, the flower takes on a rounded, ruffled form reminiscent of English roses and grandmother’s rose garden. Old-fashioned equals lush and beautiful when it comes to roses, and Caribbean Breeze is a welcome revival of this flower form.

Expect the blooms to reach 2 to 3 inches wide, the largest occurring early in the season. They are scented of sweet peach, a heady aroma that makes the summer garden sing. What a lovely choice for a container on the deck or in other outdoor entertaining areas, too, where the colors and fragrance can be enjoyed up close.

Just 2 to 3 feet high and no more than 2 feet wide, Caribbean Breeze can be tucked into small empty spots in the front of the border, anywhere in the perennial garden, and of course in fine containers of all kinds. This is almost an edging rose, so dense is its habit and so lovely (and abundant) its blooms. Have fun designing new ways to use this floribunda rose in your landscape. And since Caribbean Breeze was bred  at Jackson & Perkins, you know you can rely on this floribunda to perform dependably in a wide range of climates and conditions. You will fall in love with this rose.
