About Tequila® Bare Root Rose Bush
Rosa ‘MEIpomolo’ — Tequila®
🌹 A shrub rose from Meilland / Star® Roses and Plants
Tequila® is a glowing, sunlit rose — a landscape shrub built for color, hardiness, and effortless charm. With waves of apricot-orange blooms that persist from spring well into late season, this rose brings warmth and brightness to garden beds, borders, or hedges. Its mounding habit, rich foliage, and garden-tough nature make it ideal for both experienced gardeners and those seeking beauty with minimal upkeep.

💖 Why Grace Rose Farm Loves It
Tequila® is sunshine in shrub form. Its apricot-orange blooms glow like warm light against dark foliage, and its compact, manageable size makes it a fantastic choice for gardens of all sizes. It requires little fuss, rewards with generous blooms, and adds cheerful, lasting color — perfect for anyone who wants bright garden drama without high maintenance.
🌿 Growing & Care Recommendations
-
Soil & Site: Choose well-draining, fertile soil in a sunny spot.
-
Watering: Water regularly until established; after that, standard watering is usually sufficient, especially in moderate climates.
-
Maintenance: Light spring cleanup to shape as needed. Dead-heading spent blooms encourages fresh flushes, but Tequila® is forgiving even with minimal care.
-
Support: None needed — its mounding habit stays elegant without staking or trellising.
