You won’t be disappointed with this one! Our rose arrived packaged well with directions and healthy. Planted the tiny stalk and saw roses the first season. This year it’s climbing up a trellis and blooming like mad. The blooms are incredibly beautiful, continuously reblooming, and cut well for a small vase. The colors are vibrant and I can’t believe its beauty every time I walk past it. My neighbor will walk over to my yard’s walkway just to look at the striking colors! It really DOES look like the picture!@
I have two plants, and searching for this variety is actually how I found Heirloom Roses. They had a very slow start in zone 9a (18 months) before they grew in size or bloomed. But oh my goodness! This spring? They were definitely worth the wait! The plants are growing well and each have several buds and large blooms. The blooms are incredible and appear luminescent. Even among 10 stunning varieties total, they stand out in my garden. I highly recommend these and wish I had room for more.
I ordered three of these and they were very small when they arrived. I planted them in the spring (zone 6b) and didn't expect blooms the first season, they definitely surprised me! They all put on about 18" of growth and multiple blooms. Each bloom, even within the same shrub, seemed a little different and the colors within each bloom seemed to change day to day. They were among the longest lasting blooms of any of my roses as well. I'm very happy with this dynamic, healthy rose and can't wait to see what it does next year!
Tequila Sunrise is the first and last rose to bloom in my garden every year and the blooms are striking! They start out bright orange and fade to yellow as they mature. It is in full sun in a cultivated bed with lots of compost. It's my favorite after Eden.
