You would never think that a company that has become one of the largest growers of roses in this country originated with the provision of fruit, but this is exactly how Jackson & Perkins began. Over a hundred and twenty years ago, this company began wholesaling strawberry and grape plants from a farm in New York. They also were kind enough to sell to anybody that stopped by their farm. They were as honest to work with as anyone could ask for and would tell their customers that if their plants didn't grow, then they would get replacements or their money back. Even after well over a hundred years, this company continues to have a guaranteed growth policy. Towards the turn of the twentieth century, this organization tried their hand at hybrid roses. Sixty years later, they moved to the San Joaquin Valley of California where they are located today. This company has over five thousand acres of rose plants that they grow, and they harvest over ten million plants annually. If you stopped by Jackson & Perkins today, then you will be filled with the aroma of roses.
