Rosa Suñorita® (Shrub Rose)

Rosa Suñorita® is a bushy, rounded shrub rose boasting a profusion of bowl-shaped, soft orange flowers packed with several dozen petals and fading to golden yellow. Blooming continuously from early summer to frost, the showy flowers entice passing butterflies to use them as perfect landing pads. They stand out against the healthy, glossy dark green foliage. Easy to grow, low maintenance, and highly disease resistant, this charming shrub rose can be grown on its own, in the garden among other perennials, shrubs, or roses, or as a flowering hedge for an easy care display of consistent color.
