Notes
'Tahitian Sunset' rose (Rosa 'Tahitian Sunset') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant apricot blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Dr. Keith W. Zary bred it in 2007.
Pairs well with Wild bergamot, Nelly Moser clematis, and Sundrops.
