'Southern Sunset' rose Description
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.

Breeder's notes:
Tamarabarani is a river in south India and the word means ‘bearer of copper’. This river is said, in olden days , to have had copper grains flowing along with the water, and on occasion, the glint of orange brown color when the sunlight fell at an angle on the copper dust , was beautiful to behold.
So we named this rose which has perfectly shaped full blooms in shades of silken orange with yellow reverse and coppery overtones as ‘Tamarabarani’- to honor the river which, is like a swathe of silken thread, running through our history, legend and literature.
When we had to think up an English name, ‘sunset’ leapt to our minds, as the colors remind one of a glowing sunset, and as the river we named it for originally, Tamarabarani, is a river in south India we thought adding ‘southern’ would sound good ( and, be alliterative- our weakness!!) so it became ‘Southern Sunset’
