Jackson & Perkins roses named American Garden Rose Selections winners

Jackson & Perkins announced that two of its Floribunda roses, Like No Other (above, left) and Soaring to Glory, have been named winners in the 2025 American Garden Rose Selections (AGRS) program.

“We are honored to be recognized among the other outstanding roses selected,” said Kelly Funk, president and CEO of Jackson & Perkins. “Winning the AGRS award is a testament to our ongoing commitment to quality and innovation in rose cultivation. These roses highlight the exceptional quality we strive for, and we are proud to share them with gardeners nationwide.”

The AGRS program is known for its rigorous evaluation process, assessing roses based on their ability to thrive in different climates. This recognition gives gardeners, landscapers, and garden designers confidence in selecting roses that offer consistent beauty and fragrance with manageable care requirements.

“Like No Other and Soaring to Glory have undergone extensive testing to ensure they thrive in various climates,” said Wes Harvell, rosarian at Jackson & Perkins. “That dedication led to these roses being selected for their performance in the Northwest, South Central, and Southwest regions, showcasing their disease resistance, vigor, health, and overall benefits for the rose gardener.”
