Hybrid Tea Rose 'Tahitian Sunset': Zary's Tropical Color Burst

Introduced in 2006 by Dr. Keith Zary, 'Tahitian Sunset' (PP19004, also known as JACgodde, New Generation Roses Collection) brings a tropical cocktail of colors to the hybrid tea class. Its blooms blend apricot, orange, pink, and yellow in a sunset gradient that shifts with each flower and each day.

Botanical Profile

The high-centered buds open into large, full flowers 5-6 inches across, the petals suffused with apricot-orange at the base, blending through coral to pink at the edges, with a yellow reverse. The fragrance is moderate, anise and fruit. The plant is vigorous and upright, 4-5 feet tall, with dark green, semi-glossy, disease-resistant foliage. 'Tahitian Sunset' represents the modern hybrid tea at its most flamboyant—color that refuses to sit still, a different sunset every bloom. For the gardener who wants drama in a vase and in the bed, this rose delivers a daily light show.
