Have you ever heard of the Roses for a Cause program? The Roses for a Cause program is something Jackson & Perkins has done for a few years now. If you buy one of the rosebushes listed in the program, a percentage of the money goes to help a specified cause. Thus buying one or more of these fine rosebushes not only adds beauty to your garden but also lends a hand at helping out our world as well. Here is a listing of the current rosebushes in the program;
