Martha’s Hybrid Tea Rose Will Bloom at a Popular Botanical Garden—Here's How to See It

Martha's very own hybrid tea rose will be showcased this summer at the renowned New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) in Bronx, New York. The Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden, one of the most popular destinations at the NYBG, recently planted 13 of Martha's rose bushes, and they'll be blooming soon.

From May through October, more than 4,000 rose plants bloom at the NYBG. The collection is diverse, featuring 37 species and around 650 varieties. Martha's rose stands out with its large pink blooms, dark green foliage, and delicately sweet fragrance. According to Martha's recent blog, her rose was bred by Meilland, a six-generation family-owned rose-growing business that introduced its roses to North America through Star Roses and Plants.

The Rose Garden, which will feature Martha's roses, sits in the northeast corner of the property. Individual rose plants of many varieties and species fill one acre of space. A beautiful gazebo stands at the center of the garden, with manicured beds surrounding it.

Martha's roses will reach peak bloom in June, boasting more than 100 pink and apricot-colored petals. If you're near New York City this summer, make the trip to the garden to see Martha's roses in full bloom. It's well worth the visit, surrounded by countless other beautiful plants and flowers.

The decorvow rose is currently sold out for the 2025 season at EdmundsRoses.com. You can sign up on the website to be the first to know when the rose is back in stock. "I am so happy that such a great rose is named after me and that many of you will be adding it to your garden," Martha says.
