Floribunda
Blessed with a sweet fragrance and far hardier than most yellow roses.
Sunsprite has deep lasting yellow color, super sweet fragrance, lots of glossy deep green leaves, an attractive bushy plant and good disease resistance. Not a bad combination! There always seems to be some color on this great rose.
Clusters of nicely formed deep yellow blooms are produced in continuous flushes on well-behaved medium-sized plants. The unfading blooms are perfectly set off with heavily toothed, dark green shiny foliage. Happiest in cooler temperatures.
