Notes
'Tequila' rose (Rosa 'Tequila') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. 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 double blooms are orange with a golden center and red-flushed outer edges. They are fragrant and attract bees. Alain A. Meilland bred it in 2005.
Pairs well with Clary sage, Stargazer lily, and Butterfly bush.
