Target |
Need a bright floribunda to bloom its head off in a highly visible spot? Marmalade Skies might be for you.
Only a year old, this little rose is already one of the workhorses of my garden, pumping out the salmon-orange
3” blooms in flashy clusters. There is little to no fragrance.
It is rumored to be shade tolerant, but I can attest that it takes our brutal full summer sun without flinching.
Average size is 3’ x3’, but mine is challenging those boundaries as many roses in our climate do. My only hope
is to someday achieve blooms like the one Steve Sheard took home a trophy with (floribunda in a bowl) at our
rose show. Wow!
