English Coral Grandiflora Rose

English Coral is a standout addition to the Jackson & Perkins Exclusive Introduction Collection, offering lush, full-petaled blooms and long-season performance that feels both fresh and timeless. Flowering continuously from late spring to mid fall, this grandiflora produces 3- to 4-inch cup-shaped blossoms typically borne singly on long, sturdy stems. Each double bloom holds between 35 and 70 petals in warm shades of salmon to coral pink, creating a soft, old-fashioned look ideal for cutting. A slight fruity fragrance adds gentle charm, making every bloom as inviting up close as it is in the garden.

This rose is part of the limited-quantity J&P Exclusive Introduction Collection—an evolving line of unique varieties hybridized to elevate performance, bloom quality, and garden impact. As with beloved exclusives like Pope John Paul II and Disneyland, these newer introductions are selected from thousands of seedlings and often sell out quickly. English Coral carries that legacy forward with strong garden appeal, offering a tall, upright, modestly spreading habit and dependable disease resistance. Its elegant colors pair beautifully with blue salvia, lavender, catmint, or soft yellow perennials, giving it versatility in both single plantings and mixed beds.

Plant English Coral in full sun and well-drained soil to encourage vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Seasonal feeding and regular watering during establishment help sustain its long flowering window. In early spring, prune by removing dead or crossing canes and shaping the shrub for balanced growth. With its classic form, rich coral coloring, and modern performance qualities, English Coral is a beautiful and reliable grandiflora to add to any rose collection.
