Each year, between 300,000 and 400,000 seedlings are grown and evaluated at the research facility. Roses are heavy feeders amd it takes a lot of energy to produce those large and magnificent blooms. The company's mail order business resulted from a garden exhibit Jackson & Perkins set up at the 1939 World's Fair in New York entitled A Parade of Modern Roses. Rose leaves develop in sets of three, five, even seven or nine leaflets. Most modern roses, even some heirloom varieties, will bloom all summer if properly groomed.
