Sunset Celebration Hybrid Tea Rose

The changing hues of the last light of day are reflected in the name of this hybrid tea. And just as the colors of a sunset may vary from coast to coast, so too can the colors of Sunset Celebration. Depending on locale, gardeners will enjoy blossoms that are apricot burnished with cream or amber-orange blushed with pink or, occasionally, warm rich peach.

Buds spiral open to reach 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 inches with 25 to 30 petals. A fruity fragrance, deep green foliage and long stems make this rose perfect for a sunny bouquet that will glow all day long.

Weeks Roses is introducing Sunset Celebration, which was hybridized by Gareth Fryer from a combination of Pot O' Gold and an unnamed seedling. The rose will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Sunset magazine.
