About Sunbelt® Tupelo Honey™ Potted Rose Bush
Rosa ‘KORflusamea’ PP 28,542 Sunbelt® Tupelo Honey™
Sunbelt® Tupelo Honey™ is a floribunda rose introduced in the U.S. by Star® Roses & Plants (Sunbelt® series) in 2013. Its blooms open in radiant butterscotch yellow and are excessively full—packed with 55–60 petals—offering a mildly sweet, honeysuckle-like fragrance. The medium to large flowers (around 3.5″ across) appear both in clusters and singly in generous flushes from spring through fall on an upright, glossy-leaved shrub with strong disease resistance.
