Alex's Lemonade Stand Grandiflora Rose

Alex's Lemonade Stand is a Jackson & Perkins exclusive 2020 introduction that brings both radiant beauty and meaningful purpose to the garden. This grandiflora rose produces spiraled ochre-gold double blooms, each 3 to 4 inches across, appearing singly or in small clusters from late spring through mid fall. The flowers release a moderate fruity fragrance and gradually blush to light pink as they mature, adding depth and movement to every display. With strong stems and excellent form, these blooms make outstanding cut flowers for bright, uplifting indoor arrangements.

The plant itself forms an upright, moderately spreading shrub reaching up to 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide, giving it a stately, structural presence. This makes Alex's Lemonade Stand a natural choice for the back of sunny perennial borders, where its warm tones and elegant architecture draw the eye. It is equally at home in formal garden beds or used as an informal hedge to define pathways or create garden "rooms." Pair it with blue or purple companions—such as salvia, nepeta, or lavender—to heighten contrast and showcase its golden hues.

Named in honor of the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, this variety helps raise awareness for childhood cancer. Since young Alex Scott opened her first lemonade stand in 2000, the foundation has raised millions of dollars to support research and assist families navigating treatment. Growing this rose offers gardeners a beautiful way to participate in that message of resilience and hope. Plant Alex's Lemonade Stand in full sun and well-drained soil, water regularly during establishment, and prune in early spring to remove dead or crossing canes. With seasonal feeding and consistent care, it will produce months of glowing, fragrant blooms.
