Sunset Celebration...the Rose


Another lovely apricot/peach colored rose is Sunset Celebration, developed by Jackson Perkins, I believe for the 50th anniversary of Sunset Magazine. The ruffled petals are the main feature that attracted me to purchase this rose. The fragrance and color are the other all important features that allow this cultivar to meet my "criteria" for a place in the garden. I can't recall how tall this plant should be, but it easily reaches 7', even though I doubt is was supposed to be a climber.
