DETAILED DESCRIPTION
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.
GROWTH HABIT
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.
