Sriracha® Floribunda Rose

Sriracha® is the Jackson & Perkins Floribunda of the Year® 2016, a vibrant and high-performing rose that brings bold color, glossy foliage, and generous bloom clusters to the garden. Named for the sweet-and-spicy condiment beloved nationwide, this floribunda delivers its own irresistible blend of heat and sweetness in the form of big, copper-orange to coral blooms that stand out brilliantly against very glossy green leaves. A child of Habitat for Humanity '03, Sriracha produces abundant clusters of 5 to 9 fully double flowers, each up to 4 inches wide. The blooms shimmer whether mass-planted or showcased individually, and their lively tones make a striking complement to pink, red, or yellow roses in a mixed planting.

With strong disease resistance, good cold hardiness, and handsome foliage that stays attractive all season, Sriracha offers the kind of dependable performance gardeners love. Its rich coral-orange coloring brings warmth and movement to perennial borders, where a row of plants can create a coral-reef effect, while a single shrub adds a vivid punch of color in foundation beds or cutting gardens. Pair it with companions such as lavender, catmint, blue salvia, or golden grasses to heighten contrast and extend seasonal interest. Whether planted en masse or used as a vibrant focal point, Sriracha promises months of showy bloom clusters.

Sriracha thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and responds well to consistent feeding every 4 to 6 weeks from late spring through mid-fall. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continued flowering, while stopping fertilizer in fall helps the plant naturally enter dormancy. In colder regions, winter protection is recommended—mound soil over the crown after the first freeze, top with straw or mulch, and remove the material in spring as temperatures warm. Early-spring pruning of weak canes and a one-third to one-half reduction of remaining canes keeps the plant vigorous. With proper care, this fiery floribunda rewards gardeners with abundant, glowing blooms year after year.
