Tequila Sunrise Rose

Tequila Sunrise is a rose to raise a glass to! It has lightly fragranced double blooms, which begin with pointy red and gold buds, opening into deep orange-yellow, with petals heavily edged with bright scarlet. contrasting with lovely glossy, bronze-tinted foliage. See more hybrid tea varieties, or browse all of our other colours and sizes of rose here.

It's small for a hybrid tea rose, reaching just 75cm, so it's perfect for large containers, patios or small gardens.

Tequila Sunrise has been honoured with the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, the premier benchmark of quality and performance for gardeners.

Keep it fed and well watered and you can look forward to these show-stopping blooms well into autumn.

This rose is so vivid, you really don't need much else going on; the beauty of its flowers could even be lost in the jumble of a normal flower bed. Try placing it in front of deep-coloured, leafy plants that it will shine against, such as purple-leaved Cotinus (smoke bush), Sambucus nigra (black elder) or even plain old ivy.

For pots, plant with grasses and big-leaved, architectural plants like Rodgersia or Fatsia japonica. Avoid anything variegated, as they will distract from the roses. You're looking for contrasts in leaf shape, form and movement that will be the supporting cast for this rose in flower, and which complements its glossy, bronze-tinged foliage.

If you are planting her in borders, group several together and underplant with dark-leaved Heuchera varieties (Ebony, Plum Pudding, Obsidian, Dark Storm and Black Taffeta) which will act as a contrast to the flowers and show off the foliage.

Introduced in either 1985 or 1989, this rose is named after a cocktail made of tequila, orange juice and grenadine syrup, which is shaded from yellow to red, just like its petals.

<h2>How to plant Tequila Sunrise Roses</h2> <p>Choose a spot with as much light as possible. Dig a hole sufficiently deep to allow the rose to be planted with the graft union at soil level and with plenty of room for its roots which should be spread out. Improve the soil from the hole by removing roots, weeds, large stones and other rubbish and mixing in about 25% by volume of well-rotted compost or manure. </p><p>Position your rose so its roots are spread out, wet them and sprinkle them with <a href="https://www.ashridgetrees.co.uk/rootgrow">Rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi</a>. If planting pot grown roses gently loosen some roots out of the ball before planting.</p> <p> Then backfill the hole with mixed soil and compost, firming it gently as you go. Keep the union at the level of the surrounding soil. Water in thoroughly. </p>

Water Tequila Sunrise roses well during their first year until established, especially if in containers. Prune in late winter and feed twice with rose fertiliser, first in spring then later in the summer. Keep well watered during dry, hot and windy weather and deadhead faded blooms to encourage more flowers to form.

Delivery: The basic delivery charge for orders of bareroot plants is £6.50 + vat, which increases to £12.55 + vat if you add any pot-grown plants, standard trees or fruit trees to the order.
Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
