Wonderfully fragrant, Rosa Tropicana is a lovely Hybrid Tea rose with very large, 5 in. across (12 cm), double, well-formed coral-orange flowers (30-35 petals). Rich with an intense fruity fragrance, the showy blossoms bloom profusely in flushes from spring to fall. They are borne on long stems and are excellent for cutting. A bushy, upright, handsomely shaped shrub with semi-glossy, dark green leaves that provide an ideal backdrop for its summer-long floral display. Excellent disease resistance.
