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.
