American Peony Society 2026 Gold Medal Winner:

Rozella

Reath Originator, 1991

Renowned for its remarkably strong, erect stems, ˈRozellaˈ stands proudly through any weather without support, achieving heights of 30–32 inches. Blooms are abundant and beautifully organized, with broad, uniform petals that hold close to the foliage, enhancing the plant’s clean, architectural habit. A reliable mid-to-late season performer, this cultivar is vigorous, floriferous, and easy to grow—qualities that earned it the American Peony Society’s Award of Landscape Merit (2009).

With its superb substance, richly colored flowers, and unwavering stance, 'Rozella' is equally impressive in the garden and the vase. A superior plant in every respect, it remains one of the finest peonies available and deserves a prominent place in any collection.
