Every flush of Day Breaker™ looks like the sky just before sunrise, apricot and amber yellow warming to salmon orange as the bloom matures in perfect sunset colours that shift and glow through the day. This compact floribunda rose is moderately fragrant with sweet notes of pear and tea with a fresh green character, ideal for statement plantings, beds, borders, and containers. A multiple award-winner including All-America Rose Selection and Portland's Best Rose, equally at home in the garden and on the exhibition table.
