Simply Magnifiscent Grandiflora Rose

Simply Magnifiscent is a 2017 Jackson & Perkins introduction and a cold-hardy grandiflora rose bred to deliver both exceptional fragrance and luminous beauty. Hybridized in-house over years of careful refinement, this variety beautifully expresses the strengths of its parentage—Melody Parfumee x New Zealand—resulting in a rose with outstanding fragrance, impressive bloom size, and refined form. Its large lavender-pink flowers appear singly or in clusters of 3 to 5, blanketing the garden from late spring through mid fall. The strong fruity scent is potent enough to perfume wide garden spaces or create a one-bloom potpourri indoors, offering a sensory experience far deeper than photos can convey.

Simply Magnifiscent forms a very "prim and proper" shrub with an upright, polished habit that stands out in formal beds, fragrant gardens, or anywhere a structured focal point is desired. The luminous coloring pairs beautifully with plant companions such as purple salvia, silver artemisia, white catmint, or pastel yarrow, each helping to highlight its soft lavender-pink tones. Whether used as a specimen, grouped for larger displays, or cut for indoor enjoyment, its huge blossoms make a bold and elegant statement. With its combination of strong fragrance, large flowers, and consistent performance, this grandiflora is an ideal choice for gardeners who want both visual and aromatic impact.

Thriving in full sun and rich, loamy, well-drained soil, Simply Magnifiscent responds well to the same care given to other roses—good air circulation, regular watering during establishment, and seasonal feeding to promote strong stems and frequent reblooming. Cold-hardy and vigorous, it maintains its flowering strength even in cooler climates. With proper care, this exceptionally fragrant variety will reward you with months of enormous blooms and one of the sweetest, most memorable scents you can find in a rose.
