Description

Award Winning | Intensely Licorice Scented

All-American Rose Selections Winner 2006; Gold Medal at Rose Hills International Rose Trials

If you think that the only roses with great blackspot resistance are the shrub varieties, you haven't met Tahitian Sunset yet. This hybrid tea offers lush, healthy, wonderfully blackspot-free foliage that surrounds huge, fragrant, multicolored blooms of perfect form and exquisite color. You can truly have it all with Tahitian Sunset.

Beautifully high-centered, perfectly symmetrical 5-inch blooms open slowly from pointed ovoid buds on this beautiful hybrid tea. The base color is soft apricot, with overtones of peach, pink, pale rose, and even softest orange. Long-lasting and boasting an anise (licorice) scent, these blooms really do live up to their name of Tahitian Sunset.

Borne on 14- to 16-inch stems, usually singly but occasionally in small clusters, the flowers begin in late spring or early summer and continue in waves all summer. The heaviest bloom is early, with the largest flowers and the most dramatic play of colors, but the show continues right into September in many climates. Such great performance, thanks to healthy blackspot-free foliage that keeps this shrub vigorous right through the worst heat and humidity of August.

Expect Tahitian Sunset to reach around 5 feet high and 3 to 4 feet wide, with excellent branching and an upright habit. This is one of our New Generation series of blooms, as garden worthy in habit and foliage as it is exhibition-worthy in bloom. It's ideal for the border, and doesn't mind the crowding that other roses find uncongenial.

Tahitian Sunset won top honors from the All-America Rose Selection judges when it was introduced in 2006, and has gone on to win many other awards, among them the Gold Medal at Rose Hills. It is rare to find this combination of perfect form and low maintenance garden performance. Don't miss the pleasure and ease of this hybrid tea in your own landscape.

Outstanding performer

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've had this rose for close to 10 years, and it's probably my favorite. It's such a carefree rose with a wonderful scent, lots of blooms all summer long. I really don't have to do much maintenance with it, just cut it back as needed.

Amazing Rose

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Living in zone 7b (Northern Virginia) I struggle with keeping my roses healthy in our extremely humid summers. Tahitian Sunset is a stellar performer. One of my plants grew to 6+ feet, and always looked amazing. The color of this rose is stunning. One of my all time favorites.

disease resistant

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have grown this rose for about 5 years, live north of Houston(Zone 8b) and do not spray my roses. This is my most disease resistant rose and does not get mildew like Knockout. Small amount of blackspot only, no defoliation.
