Day Breaker
Day Breaker is an upright, bushy floribunda with bright, multi-shade blooms in yellow, blending to pink and apricot. From pointed and shapely buds, its spiraled blooms grow to 4 to 4½ inches in diameter, with 30 to 35 pedals per flower, each nestled among dark, glossy green foliage on a plant that reaches a medium height.
Day Breaker is an awakening of the senses, not only for its exquisite beauty, but also for its sharp moderate tea fragrance. Day Breaker truly earns its floribunda classification with its brilliantly colorful, long-lasting clusters of flowers in a hardy, continuous bloom.
Hybridized by Gareth Fryer, Day Breaker is being introduced by Edmund's Roses of Wilsonville, Ore.
