The Rosa 'Canadian Sunset', a hybrid tea rose with warm and changing colors, stands out for its large, double, apricot-yellow flowers intensely washed with coral orange and salmon pink at the edges. The coloring evolves according to temperature and sunlight, offering a spectacular sunset effect that fully justifies its name. Its thick, well-turbinated petals form an elegant flower borne on long, strong stems, ideal for cutting. Its light fragrance accompanies abundant and continuous flowering throughout the summer. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to effectively structure sunny flowerbeds or to bring a luminous focal point to a warm-toned bed. Its dark green, dense, and healthy foliage shows good disease resistance and hardiness suitable for northern climates in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. The Rosa 'Canadian Sunset' brings brilliance, warmth, and floral constancy to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
