As the name suggests, the beautiful ‘Designer Sunset’ Patio Rose from Whartons Roses has flowers in wonderful warming sunset shades. With an abundance of layered cream-coloured double petals, they are splashed with vibrant pink, red and apricot hues to give it contemporary appeal.
A great choice if you want a rose with all the beauty of a classic rose, but with a modern flourish, as the petals unfurl, the unique colour pattern creates a dazzling display, growing above its glossy dark green leaves.
With a neat and compact growing habit, this rose is a wonderful addition to a container display, where you can also enjoy its light fragrance with it positioned around seating areas or beside entrances. It is also a great choice for seamlessly connecting a range of vibrant flowers for an eye-catching mixed display. With strong upright stems, it is an delightful cut flower and is perfect for enjoying in arrangements around the home.
