Chihuly® Rose Tree
These beautiful flowers look like summer itself! Its bright yellow buds unfurl into fluffy roses up to 3.5" across, blushing from pale to vibrant orange across each of its 25 petals. As the flower ages, the rich orange deepens to various shades of coral pink and red. Not only are they beautiful to look at, but also their lovely, fragrant scent will attract butterflies and other pollinators when planted in outdoor border gardens for screening or privacy. Be sure to grow them in full sun or partial shade, in well-drained, humus-enriched soil. If you want to bring them indoors, the wide, dark green leaves (which first appear as deep red) make the ideal stage on which to showcase these sunny flowers in a bright bouquet.
What Is a Tree Rose?
Unlike traditional shrub roses that grow from the base up, tree roses—also known as grafted standard roses—are specially cultivated by grafting a rose variety onto a sturdy, 2–3-foot tall trunk of rose rootstock. This horticultural technique allows favorite floribunda, grandiflora, hybrid tea, or even climbing rose varieties to take on an elegant tree-like form. The result is a dramatic garden feature: a vertical accent that elevates lush, colorful blooms to near eye level. Tree roses offer a refined structure and bring added dimension to flower beds, borders, and containers alike.
