The Fragrant Rose List


Royal Sunset

(Climbing Hybrid Tea, 1960) – clear apricot. This childe of Sutter’s Gold receives high marks for climbing vigor, high centered flower form, and strong fragrance. The blooms have a strong fruity fragrance that is very appropriate for the apricot coloring. It also has the enviable trait of blooming along its entire length. Alas, the foliage is not immune to black spot and will need spraying to prevent the disease. Recommended by unknown forum member. Winter hardy to zone 6.
