Floribunda Rose 'Miss Behavin': Zary's Rule Breaker

Introduced in 1999 by Dr. Keith Zary, 'Miss Behavin'' (PP12129, also known as JACtorse) is a floribunda with a rebellious streak. Its blooms are a bold, saturated orange-red—unapologetically bright, refusing to fade or blend in.

Botanical Profile

The semi-double flowers open in clusters of 5-15, a vivid orange-red with a slight yellow base. The fragrance is moderate, spicy. The plant is compact and bushy, 3-4 feet tall, with glossy, disease-resistant foliage. The name captures the cultivar's personality: it misbehaves beautifully, demanding attention in a class often dominated by polite pinks and whites. 'Miss Behavin'' is the rose equivalent of a red lipstick moment—bold, confident, and impossible to ignore. For the gardener who wants a floribunda with attitude, this is it.
