This Legacy Rose is Named After the Iconic Home and Garden Personality
Star® Roses and Plants, a leading genetics company involved directly in breeding roses, edibles, perennials and woody plants, is thrilled to unveil the Martha Stewart™ Rose for introduction in 2026.
Martha Stewart™ is a Hybrid Tea Rose that has over 100 petals unfurling in shades of ballet pink and apricot. It is beautifully scented with notes of citrus and honeysuckle. It’s a truly spectacular addition to any rose collection.
Named for the home and garden icon, Martha Stewart™ is a remarkable rose worthy of its illustrious moniker.
Bred by Meilland®, this rose was originally introduced in Europe as Jean de la Fontaine®. The North American launch under the name Martha Stewart™ through Star® Roses and Plants will make the rose available at independent garden centers starting in 2026. Very limited quantities of bare-root plants are available now online.
Known for her carefully designed and expertly tended gardens, Martha wanted to find a rose that would symbolize her life-long devotion to gardening, a rose that possessed her favorite characteristics: a gorgeous apricot-pink color, a full bloom, and an excellent fragrance.
The Martha Stewart™ rose is a gift to gardeners everywhere who, like Martha, want to grow something beautiful and leave some of that beauty behind for others to experience.
