I grew this rose as part of the Jackson Perkins 2005 test panel for fragrant Hybrid Teas. It soon became one my favourite of the four test roses. Sweet Freedom smells lovely and the bloom is a pristine creamy white.

What zone are you in? Winter protection?

Hi Diane,
I'm in Southern California, zone 9. We don't get a hard enough freeze that I need to protect my roses.
It stands up to out summer heat very well - I wish I could be more zone helpful to you.

I agree on this rose as well. It is a prolific bloomer and is turning into a rather large HT! Seems to enjoy my zone 7a sunny location. Very much a problem free rose! Although it compares (in my opinion) to the John F Kennedy, the Sweet Freedom has a much better looking set of canes than the JFK. Will be doing a hard prune on it this year to see how it does as I'm concentrating on shaping it this year. This was also part of the test panel.
