Inspiring Canadian gardeners with classic favorites and extraordinary new roses
EDINA, MN – Jackson & Perkins, America’s most celebrated rose brand with more than 150 years of horticultural excellence, is officially expanding into Canada. Beginning February 2026, Canadian gardeners will be able to shop a curated collection of Jackson & Perkins roses directly through the company’s new Canadian online store, marking an exciting milestone for both the brand and the Canadian gardening community.
This launch is made possible through a strategic growing partnership with J.C. Bakker & Sons Nurseries, one of Canada’s most trusted and respected growers. Through this collaboration, all roses for the Canadian market will be grown, packed, and shipped directly from within Canada. The result is fresher plants, improved availability, reduced delivery windows, and a seamless customer experience.

Bakker & Sons Nurseries is excited to collaborate with Jackson & Perkins with the introduction of many new rose varieties, along with some current favorites, to the Canadian market through the launch of their Canadian store,” said Rich Heikoop, Sales Manager at J.C. Bakker & Sons. “Jackson & Perkins has a long-standing history of providing ground-breaking rose varieties well known to gardeners across Canada. Expanding on this tradition, we have applied our knowledge of rose production to these new varieties sourced from around the world. Our goal is to produce and distribute these roses from Canada directly to the benefit of Canadian Gardeners.”
The expansion reflects Jackson & Perkins continued commitment to innovation, breeding excellence, and accessibility. With decades of rose introductions that have shaped ornamental gardening, the brand is now making it easier for Canadian gardeners to enjoy its signature quality without cross-border shipping challenges.
“Expanding into Canada marks an exciting new chapter for Jackson & Perkins,” said Kelly Funk, president and CEO of Jackson & Perkins. “This is more than making our roses available in a new market; it’s about sharing our heritage, innovation, and dedication with Canadian gardeners. We invite enthusiasts to explore a curated selection of award-winning and new varieties and to experience the joy of growing roses while contributing to our ongoing tradition of rose excellence.”
