Rose - Tequila Sunrise

Common Name:
Rose 'Tequila Sunrise'

Description:
Rose 'Tequila Sunrise' is a striking hybrid tea rose renowned for its vibrant, bi-coloured blooms. The flowers display a rich, deep yellow hue with petals elegantly edged in hot scarlet red, creating a dramatic and eye-catching contrast. Each bloom is medium-sized, approximately 5 to 7.5 cm in diameter, and fully double with a cupped shape, comprising 26 to 40 petals. The plant exhibits a bushy, upright growth habit, reaching a height of about 90 to 120 cm and a spread of 60 to 90 cm. The glossy, dark green foliage provides a beautiful backdrop to the vivid blossoms. 'Tequila Sunrise' is a repeat bloomer, offering multiple flushes of flowers from late spring through autumn. It thrives in Melbourne's climate when planted in full sun and well-drained soil. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming, and annual winter pruning helps maintain its shape and vigour. This rose is ideal for garden beds, borders, and as a striking feature in containers. Its long stems and enduring blooms make it a superb choice for cut flower arrangements, bringing both beauty and fragrance indoors.
