Tequila Sunrise

Tea Hybrid 

Bright flowers, good shape and vitality have made this variety deservedly popular. When open, the flowers are dark yellow, but as they open, a coral border appears on the petals, which increases so that in full bloom the bush is a mixture of bright yellow and red colours. The flowers are densely double, with many small short petals curled in a spiral in the centre. The edges of the petals are wavy. The overall effect is very expressive and attractive. The flowers usually appear singly on short, upright shoots. The bush is dense, broad, strong, with dark foliage and red young shoots. Overall, it is very resistant to disease.
