ARS believes it is the same rose as Marvelle/Tropical Sunset, i.e. renamed by someone who marketed it without paying for the licensing rights to its rightful breeder (McGredy).	REPLY

Thank you. I posted on a rose forum about this right after I wrote this comment and got the same answer. Maybe HMF should include the reference to Marvelle and Tropical sunset to clear things up. Thanks ...Donna	REPLY

The reverse is the same, which is yellow with some striped tinting on the back. The reverse is not full on striped. The petals, color, and form are also the same. The foliage is the same. I have no idea on plant habit.

My guess is that this really is Marvelle or a sister of it. It could have been re-named and stole, or it could have been licensed and re-named in another country.

It definitely has all of the McGredy HT hallmarks from that era.

Regan Nurseries in Fremont sold 'Tropical Sunset' (see the 2002 ref for that rose), and then later they were selling 'Rainbow Niagara' (see the 2005 ref for that rose). The date listed in the 2005 reference is 2003.	REPLY

Rio Samba has a lot of amber in the center with a couple of rows on the outside that are a deep coral. Tropical Sunset petals have amber, orange and coral shading all through the flower. Tropical Sunset is also a larger and fuller flower.	REPLY

Tropical Sunset is a yellow rose with orange linear shading (or may I say what appear to be incomplete stripes ). The rose ages to a fiery orange pink glow(Sunset). It closes as an intensesly glowing sunset pink. I grow this in Iowa and when the temperatures are plus 84 the rose can change in a day, so you had better look at the rose in the morning because by sunset (and it does coincide with the setting of the sun) it will be a different color completely.
If you can't tell by now, this is a spectacular rose!!!
