Our Commitment to Excellence

Nurturing Roses from the Start

At its expansive 1,200-acre facility in Wasco, California, Weeks Roses combines advanced processing, refrigeration, and distribution technologies. Located near other major rose producers, the region boasts rich loamy soil, abundant clean water, and an ideal climate for commercial rose cultivation. Roses grown here adapt well to diverse American climates, and the local community thrives on rose production.

While some breeders conduct research and testing abroad, Weeks Roses keeps all its operations—including breeding and testing—within the United States. This ensures their roses meet the specific needs of American gardens.

Innovating with Award-Winning Varieties

Weeks Roses has earned a reputation for creating exceptional rose varieties and maintaining consistently high standards. Recently, Weeks secured its seventh consecutive Portland Rose Society "Best Rose" award with Smokin' Hot, a striking red hybrid tea rose celebrated for its promising disease resistance and adaptability compared to other red varieties.

Weeks Roses offers a diverse selection of rose types but excels particularly with shrub roses, climbing roses, Floribundas, and large-blooming hybrid teas. Renowned as a leader in landscape roses, Weeks combines stunning flower colors, elegant shapes, lush foliage, and exceptional repeat blooming. It’s also known for producing long-stemmed roses perfect for cutting, including impressive hybrid teas with jumbo blooms and striking color blends. The introduction of its Fortuniana rootstock revolutionized southern landscape roses, delivering bigger and more abundant flowers that thrive even in challenging sandy soils.

Weeks Roses frequently earns accolades from the American Rose Trials for Sustainability, which identifies roses with outstanding resilience to pests and diseases, along with exceptional hardiness and garden performance. These roses are designed not only to impress with their beauty but also to deliver reliable performance year after year.

The world of roses is constantly evolving. Every year, rose enthusiasts are delighted by the introduction of numerous new varieties, showcasing a wide array of colors and types, along with an expanding range of fragrant and disease-resistant options. Weeks Roses takes great pride in its breeding program, which has earned prestigious awards worldwide. As you explore the website, you'll notice icons highlighting the awards our roses have achieved.
