Blooming of Martha's Rose set at Notable Botanic Gardens
Spectacular Hybrid Tea Rose Molly Makes Its Debut at NYBG's Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden
Get ready, rose enthusiasts! This summer, Martha Stewart's personal hybrid tea rose will make a splendid appearance at the prestigious New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) in Bronx, New York. The garden's beloved Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden has cultivated 13 rose bushes from Martha's rose variety, and they're minutes away from putting on a show.
From May to October, the NYBG unveils over 4,000 rose plants, boasting a wide range of species and varieties. Martha's rose, with its large pink blossoms, dark green foliage, and heavenly fragrance, takes center stage. According to a recent post on Martha's blog, her rose was lovingly crafted by Meilland, a renowned, six-generation family-owned rose nursery that introduced its roses to North America via Star Roses and Plants.
The Rose Garden, situated in the northeastern part of the property, features an acre filled with a myriad of rose plant species and varieties. A picturesque gazebo nestles at the heart of the garden, surrounded by meticulously manicured beds showcasing a variety of rose plants.
Martha's roses peak in their radiant glory in June, boasting over 100 pink and apricot-hued petals. If you're in the vicinity of New York City this summer, a trip to the garden is highly recommended – a delightful encounter with Martha's roses amidst a sea of countless other stunning flora.
The Martha Stewart rose is reportedly sold out for the 2025 season at EdmundsRoses.com. You can register on the website to be the first to hear when the rose becomes available again. "I'm thrilled that such an exceptional rose carries my name, and I'm excited for many gardeners to add it to their own gardens," Martha stated.

It showcases impressive fountain systems, an expansive range of indoor and outdoor flora, and majestic architecture. Other notable gardens include the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, and the Desert Botanical Garden.
