The Amber Sun® rose’s elongated copper buds open to the sweetest scented yellow blooms with a creamy apricot pink reverse. The bright clusters of the small, semi-double blooms grow abundantly and repeat bloom generously. Amber Sun® is a compact, bushy plant that reaches no more than 2′-3′ in height, and as such makes a suitable groundcover rose or small shrub. Its foliage is glossy, dark green, and dense. Amber Sun® has won the Hague Gold Certificate in 2011, the Hradec Králové First Prize and the Hague Silver Certificate in 2009, the Hague Bronze Certificate in 2008, and the Monza Bronze Medal in 2005.
