Rose Type: Hybrid Tea
Rio Samba produces bright, medium-sized blooms that open yellow with red outer petals and gradually deepen toward red as the flowers age. The blooms reach about 4.5 inches across with approximately 25 petals and may appear in small clusters, creating a lively blend of yellow and red throughout the plant.
The flowers carry a slight fragrance and are noted for blooming early, with plants improving as they become established. Rio Samba grows with a rounded habit to about 5–6 feet tall and performs well for cutting. It also tolerates heat and coastal conditions, with its best flower size and color developing under cooler conditions.
