When people purchased plants from Jackson & Perkins in the 1870s, Charles Perkins would tell people, "If it doesn't grow for you, let me know." Anyone who came back got either a replacement or refund. That type of dedication to customer satisfaction is why Jackson & Perkins remains in business nearly 150 years later. Backed by a guarantee that few growers can offer, their impeccable breeding also ensures their roses perform well in gardens across the country.

Today, the nursery's horticulturalists cultivate more than 5,000 acres of rose fields and harvest more than 10 million plants. The nursery supplies patrons with roses and everything from trees to bulbs to garden tools. It also stocks decorative garden gifts and home decor.
