The collection includes a Pope John Paul II bareroot rose and solid, cast aluminum marker to place alongside the planted rose in your garden. You’ll also receive an embossed keepsake portfolio, which holds a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity, a full-color photograph of the rose and one of the late Pontiff’s homilies.

Thanks for the info! Jackson and Perkins is such a great company and I’m thrilled to be able to now buy this rose. What a special tribute to our great John Paul II. These will look so beautiful in the garden and what a wonderful reminder each day to look out there and see them. And this company guarantees their roses, so if anything goes wrong, they’ll replace it.
