Don Juan Climbing Rose

March 29, 2008 · Filed Under Online Sales · Comment 

Don Juan climbing rose from Jackson & PerkinsToday, I’m going to share with you the secret to growing beautiful roses. Just pick the right rose, one that’s ‘fool proof’. The Don Juan Climbing Rose is my secret weapon.

One of the only fragrant red climbers in the world, Don Juan is a glorious presence in any garden. Dramatic, crimson flowers with velvety, ruffled petals and an intoxicating damask scent are a standout. And the blossoms are set on long stems, just perfect for cutting!

Don Juan Climbing Rose grows 8 to 10 feet tall with massive 5′ blooms in profusion. The dark green foliage is the perfect backdrop for the brilliant flowers. And they ARE brilliant, almost too beautiful to believe. I have 6 plants along the sunny side of my house and they are magnificent against the white siding. People think I have a magic touch with roses, but these are so easy, they practically grow themselves. Extremely hardy and disease resistant, I would recommend Don Juan to any rose lover, but especially to a rose gardener that’s just getting started.

Full-petaled, fragrant flowers are rare in climbing roses! These blossoms are a beautiful deep clear pink, with rapid, repeat bloom cycles and a graceful, well-branched habit. The rose drapes  your arbor in spice-scented blooms from spring until fall. The deep pink color shows off in 4″ blooms.

Easter Teacup Trio

March 13, 2008 · Filed Under Online Sales · Comment 

Blooming Sunshine Trio of teacups & plants for EasterThis delightful Easter gift from Jackson & Perkins is called the Blooming Sunshine Trio, and it contains the best of spring-blooming bulbs in sunny colors for your home or office. It was so incredibly popular that it sold out and is no longer available.

But it is still a great Easter gift idea to create your own coffee klatsch. It wouldn’t be too difficult to find three cheery yellow-and-white mugs (or whatever Spring color combination you want) to make a gift along this same theme. Just get three coordinating mugs and plant each with a cluster of spring-blooming bulbs. The set from Jackson & Perkins contained crocus, yellow daffodil, and snowy-white hyacinth, but you can choose whatever combination you think would look attractive in the mug grouping you choose. Bulbs will bloom in succession over 3 to 4 weeks, but simple little green plants would also be attractive and stay nice through the entire summer and fall. If you select long-lived outdoor plants, they can be repotted outside and the mugs can be used for coffee, tea, soup or even hot chocolate!

Yum! This is a gift that can keep on giving.

Easter Plant & Teapot Set

March 11, 2008 · Filed Under Online Sales · Comment 

Easter Teapot Set & plant from Jackson & PerkinsI personally like gifts that keep on giving. That is, they are able to be used year-round after whatever holiday has passed. This Songbird Daisy Teapot with Cups from Jackson & Perkins is just that kind of gift. Send this gift of tea for two, and she’ll find that it’s perfect for sharing a relaxing afternoon with a friend. Because it’s from Jackson & Perkins, it arrives with cheerful dark-eyed gerbera daises in an artfully handpainted teapot and teacups, inspired by love of nature and fresh spring colors.

This pattern is exclusive to Jackson & Perkins and their Garden Fresh Express® Service ships these flowering gifts via 2-3 Day Delivery directly from their grower, so each one arrives absolutely fresh and perfect in every way. And you pay only the standard shipping and handling charge. The ceramic teapot and cups are NOT dishwasher safe and the entire gift is available at a 42% discount off individual prices, just in time for Easter giving. 

But if the price is still a little too steep for you, why not purchase an attractive and inexpensive teapot and cups and put a plant in yourself for gifting? Jackson & Perkins has great ideas, but even those on a tight budget can find a way to make their own similar gift.
