Weeks Roses: A Trusted Leader in Rose Growing

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.
