Overview

HYBRID TEA - RIO SAMBA

A fully blooming shrub that is truly a carnival of brilliant color.

  • Slight to moderate fragrance
  • Suitable for zones 7  - 10
  • Good disease resistance

Rio Samba's charm is in its flower colors, which change dramatically as the blooms mature. Fully double blooms packed with petals open from long, pointed buds. These blooms unfurl a bright shade of golden-yellow, often with red edges. 

Brightly colored medium-sized flowers often come in small clusters, making a vibrant display in the garden. Plant improves with establishment. Dark green foliage. Early to flower. Best size & color in cool climates. Early to bloom.

36" STANDARD TREE ROSE

Standard Trees are husky two-year-old plants grown on a sturdy 36" rootstock.
