'Téquila ®' rose Reviews & Comments

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Still own this rose. Its among the few that never get the shovel treatment. It's a very easy rose. Cuttable. Looks cute. Grows well. Nice, moderate scent. Blooms a lot. It did get severe dieback in Winter 2016/17, but bounced right back, and it does fade poorly. But it blooms a lot so who cares. Conclusion: Not perfect, but easy mode and stays in its lane.

Orange to yellow/cream/pale pink. Not yellow as it is often shown in catalogues. Very little yellow in fact. Very mild fragrance. Cluster-flowered. A good rosebush.

Mine is strong apricot except in extreme August heat, which it becomes a pastel coral shade. I like the color change though.

Yes, beautiful, isn't it, Michael?! More orange than yellow, don't you think?

In a way, yes. It is like it is layered underneath when seeing it in person. I find it hard to describe, which I find amusing lol. But I agree that it isn't a true yellow whatsoever.

Would I be able to train the Tequila rose on a 5'h x 6'w iron fence? I think the fence is too small for a regular climber, so trying to think of something else. I also have Graham Thomas, but that doesn't bloom frequently enough for this fence (focal point). Any other suggestions?

Sorry, Claudia. Have only just discovered your question ... I guess Tequila would manage it ... if pruned in the right way. Though it might take some time. Otherwise I have Polka, a climber which blooms very frequently. Any good? Not quite as striking colour-wise, I'm afraid. But it's a nice one all the same ...

Thank you so much for the suggestion. Actually I went and found the "Blaze of Glory" rose on sale at Armstrong, a climber so we're all set! I'll have to find another home for a Tequila!
