Tequila Sunrise is an award-winning hybrid tea rose known for its vibrant and eye-catching blooms. The flowers are a stunning blend of golden yellow with petals heavily edged in a bright scarlet red, a colour combination that resembles a tequila sunrise cocktail. The blooms are double-flowered, medium-sized, and possess a light, fruity fragrance.
This rose is a small, compact shrub, typically growing to a height and width of 0.75-1.2 meters, making it an excellent choice for borders, large containers, or small gardens. It has glossy, dark green foliage that is often tinged with bronze when new, providing a beautiful contrast to the bright flowers.
Tequila Sunrise is known for being a hardy, vigorous, and disease-resistant plant, making it a relatively easy-to-grow option for gardeners. It is a repeat bloomer, providing a colourful display from late spring through to late autumn. For best results, plant it in a sunny spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Pruning should be done in late winter, and deadheading spent blooms throughout the season will encourage more flowers to form.
