Reflecting Glory is a Canadian-bred rose from the national rose breeding program run by Vineland Research and Innovation Centre with the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association. It was released in 2026 to mark the 75th anniversary of J.C. Bakker & Sons. Bakker is one of Canada’s best-known rose nurseries, and it rates this as the finest variety it has trialled to date. It blooms continuously, producing clusters of very full apricot-peach flowers about 7 cm across, packed with petals, from spring to the first hard frost. The flowers carry a sweet fragrance. It’s self-cleaning, so spent petals drop on their own without deadheading. Like the rest of the Vineland program, it was bred for strong resistance to black spot and for winter hardiness. The plant is compact and upright, about 90 × 90 cm, with semi-glossy dark green foliage, and it’s rated hardy to zone 5a.
