Star Roses and Plants introduces Martha Stewart rose
Star Roses and Plants has unveiled the rose ‘Martha Stewart’ for introduction in 2026.
The hybrid tea rose has over 100 petals in shades of ballet pink and apricot. Scented with notes of citrus and honeysuckle, the rose is named for home and garden icon Martha Stewart.
Bred by Meilland, the rose was originally introduced in Europe as ‘Jean de la Fontaine’. The North American launch under the name ‘Martha Stewart’ through Star Roses and Plants will make the rose available at independent garden centers starting in 2026. Very limited quantities of bare-root plants are available now online.
Known for her carefully designed and expertly tended gardens, Stewart wanted to find a rose that would symbolize her lifelong devotion to gardening, a rose that possessed her favorite characteristics: a gorgeous apricot-pink color, a full bloom and an excellent fragrance.
For information about 2026 booking, growers should contact their Star Roses and Plants territory manager or call customer service at 800-457-1859.
