Tahitian Sunset
Tahitian Sunset offers a little slice of paradise. This brightly-hued hybrid tea features splendid blossoms starting from high-centered orange-yellow buds that open fully to a peachy apricot-pink with yellow highlights. The vigorous plant produces 14-16 inch stems, and flowers with about 30 petals to create blooms up to five inches in diameter. With its complex color, delightful licorice fragrance, and semi-glossy foliage, this perfectly formed rose makes a strong focal point in any garden.
Tahitian Sunset is hybridized by Keith W. Zary and is being introduced by Jackson & Perkins of Medford, Ore.
