National Rose Month: Tahitian Sunset
(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)
We've had Tahitian Sunset growing in a container for a couple of years now. It starts out with high-centered orange-yellow buds and fully opens to a peachy apricot-pink with yellow highlights. I haven't been to Tahiti, but the colors help me imagine what a sunset on that island looks like.

We cruised in Tahiti (French Polynesia) too and your rose is a perfect Tahitian color! Go to Alaska, you guys will love it. Happy Anniversary!

After seeing all your roses I don't think I have a favorite color anymore. They are all my favorites!
A Tahitian Sunset, now there's a lovely thought and picture.
What a lovely substitute for being in Tahiti..a gorgeous rose. I bet the sunset colors are just as pretty as the rose.
Certainly has the gorgeous colors of a sunset..
I love this rose! One of the HTs I haven't killed!
Tell me about the container. How large is it? Where does it winter? How long have you had the rose in it?
A beautiful color and it certainly does bring sunsets to mind. :)
Happy Anniversary to you and Betsy!
