Rosa 'Monkey Business'

Monkey Business Floribunda Rose

Rosa 'Monkey Business' is a floribunda rose producing medium double blooms in butter-yellow with a light-yellow reverse. The cluster-flowered blossoms carry moderate fragrance and open throughout the season from late spring through fall, set against glossy dark green foliage. The bush grows with an upright, garden‑friendly habit and offers repeat floral displays that are well‑suited to beds, borders, and cut flower use.

Bred in the United States and introduced by Jackson & Perkins in 2010, 'Monkey Business' combines garden reliability with decorative appeal. This rose is appreciated for maintaining bloom color and form even under varied conditions.

Planting & care

Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Grandifloras carry clustered blooms on taller stems, so a sturdy, open framework pays off.
