Landscape Notes: Also known as the Super Star Rose, it's the winner of more awards than any other variety in history. And it's no wonder why: With a perfectly compact silhouette that reaches only 3 feet high, it's ideal for most spaces. But despite its smaller size, it explodes with fluorescent salmon-red flowers that hold their unmatched color, even in the hottest summer temperatures.

Exposure/Culture: Prefers moist, slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Roses benefit from the addition of compost, aged manure, or leafmold to the planting soil. To keep the flowers coming, feed your roses with a fertilizer blended especially for roses. This can be done after each bloom cycle. Spread a layer of composted manure, compost, or shredded leaves over the base of the plant in late fall after the ground freezes. Covering these mounds and the lower parts of the bushes with evergreen boughs will add protection. Pull the mounding material away from the stem as new growth emerges in spring. Prune injured branches over when new buds emerge in spring.

Other Notes: These rare orange blooms, reaching 6 inches across, have an intoxicatingly fruity scent to welcome guests to your garden. Plus, Tropicana is one of the best cut flowers since the blooms last more than a week after cutting. Tropicana delivers unmatched color from summer to early fall, with full, robust petals of vibrant orange like you've never seen before. Color and unbelievable fragrance? It seems too good to be true, but with the Tropicana, you'll truly have it all.
