About Eleganza® Sunny Sky™  Potted Rose Bush

Rosa ‘KORaruli’ PP 22,352 Eleganza® Sunny Sky™

Eleganza® Sunny Sky™  is a hybrid tea rose introduced in the U.S. by Star® Roses & Plants (USA) as part of the Eleganza® Collection. Designed by Kordes® in Germany before 2009, it presents apricot buds that open into honey-yellow blooms—plump, high-centered, and often with scalloped edges. The lightly fragrant flowers (about 30+ petals) repeat in flushes with refined form atop a vigorous, upright shrub with thick, healthy foliage and outstanding disease resistance.
