Description / La Park Floribunda Rose

The original headquarters of Park Seed Company, back in the 19th Century, was in Paradise, Pennsylvania. A small town with a railroad stop that would eventually be unequal to the task of shipping thousands of plants and seeds from Park Seed every day, Paradise came to be known as La Park, Pennsylvania. It was a little industry unto itself, employing many of the residents in a family-friendly, down-home business that was as popular as it was enjoyable to work at.

In honor of Park Seed Company's roots in La Park, we asked our friends at Jackson & Perkins (one of Park's sister companies) to introduce a floribunda rose named after the town! As we celebrate our 150th anniversary, what better way to honor our beginnings than with a rose that combines the best of old and new in glorious double-flowered blooms?

The La Park Floribunda Rose is an upright, well-branched rose bush that boasts unmatched color in its beautiful blooms. These 4-inch blooms are a swirl of primrose, apricot, peach, pink, and blush pink tones. No two flowers will be just alike, and all will be beautiful.

The flowers sport a strong scent known in the rose industry as spinosissima. For heritage rose lovers, you may recognize it as being very close to Old Scot Briar Rose—a sweet, spicy, rich aroma reminiscent of grandmother's rose garden. Very unusual, it is unforgettable once sniffed, and you will love introducing friends to this new fragrance in the garden.

La Park reaches 3 to 4 feet high and 3 to 4 feet wide, with a dense, well-branched, upright habit that sets many flowering stems. Like all floribundas, it sets its blooms in big clusters, so a single snip brings you a bouquet of blooms.

The flowers are banked by deep green, very glossy foliage that keeps its good looks all season. This is truly a landscape rose, ready to settle right into your sunny garden among other perennials and shrubs. No special sprays or treatment needed; La Park is one of the hardy plants you will treasure most and worry about least.

    Black spot problems 0 people found this helpful

    Rating

    I’ve had this rose in the ground for two years and while the rose has lovely blooms, I am constantly dealing with black spot. I have many other roses, but this one is the most problematic. I live in the Pacific Northwest, so black spot is something we deal with here, but this rose is not one that I would choose again.

    I don't usually do roses. Hate to spray. This one is great. Third season, no spraying yet and it's gorgeous! Seventeen roses today. Wonderful color and pleasant fragrance, too.

    These roses were my first venture into planting roses. This is year 2 and oh my gosh! Even more beautiful than last year.

    Beautiful rose, susceptible to blackspot 0 people found this helpful

    Rating

    This is a beautiful rose that blooms frequently. I treated it with antifungal sprays in the spring and systemic complete care (disease and insect) in the summer and it was still covered with black spot disease by midsummer and was 90% defoliated. Even so it was putting out several blooms at a time. My garden is in the 7b midsouth region-it is a difficult place to keep blackspot under control--La Park will need additional disease treatment than what is usually recommended to thrive here.

    I purchased two of the plants and they arrived in MA at my daughters home. Two days later I personally planted the bushes and hoped to see beautiful plants when I returned this summer. However, They never took hold nor provided any indication they were growing. I do have a photo should you want. I am very disappointed in the La Park Rosa.

    Not as Pictured - Definitely Striped! 0 people found this helpful

    Rating

    The bareroot rose I received was strong and of good quality. It leafed out quickly and beautifully. However the roses it is producing are nothing like the pictures! It is not a lovely pastel blend with pink base and an ocassional deep rose petaloid. Its base color is gold with some outer stripes of medium pink and most stripes of peachy orange. The roses have a light, unusual fragrance. The bush has remained small and produces well. It does blackspot a lot, however. While I love most all roses, my least favorite are striped ones! I have limited space, and I am disabled, so this is a real disappointment!!
