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.

Pick up for Bare-Root Roses
Bare-root pick up roses were only available if pre-ordered in the winter for spring shipping or pickup. All of our roses are now potted. We will not have bare-root roses for preorder in the fall.
Pick up for Potted Roses
Potted roses are available for pick up in-store, while quantities last, until the end of summer. Our garden centre hours of operation are Monday-Saturday, 9 am-5 pm. When placing an online order of potted roses, you will be asked to select a pick up date. These dates will only be available 48 hours from when you place your order, to allow our staff time to arrange the pick up.
