More information
Taller than many floribundas, Sahara serves as an accent where extensive color display is required. Shoots bend under the weight of the flower clusters, and the bush re-blooms quickly, maintaining bloom through the rest of the season. Flowers are deep yellow with pale orange shading toward the center, then fade to lemon yellow or cream while a raspberry border develops along the edges. For a large-flowered rose, blooms are borne in sizeable clusters—usually 5–10 per cluster, sometimes up to 15. Sahara has disease-resistant, bright green, glossy foliage and a strong, branching shrub. The variety is widely grown in western Europe and is seldom encountered elsewhere.
A relatively recent cultivar characterized by bright yellow-orange coloration that gradually, starting at the petal edges, shifts to bronze-red. The flowers are large, terry, with a form reminiscent of hybrid tea roses, and have a light fragrance. The bushes are very spreading, about 1.2 m tall, and are used in flowerbeds, mixed groups, and borders.
