Tropicana Rose is a long-season reblooming deciduous shrub with glossy dark green foliage and bushy upright habit. The intensely fruity scented double roses are a blend of coral and bright orange that bloom in flushes from late spring into fall. Best grown in full sun and rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. Tropicana has excellent disease resistance.
