Tequila® Bare Root Rose Bush

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.

💐 Plant & Flower Traits

• 🎨 Color: Bright apricot-orange blooms that catch and hold the light — vivid and warm. 

• 🌸 Bloom Form: Small to moderately sized double blooms (25–30 petals) arranged in generous clusters for continuous color. 

• 📏 Typical Size: Compact and manageable — about 2–3 ft tall with a spread of 3–4 ft. 

• 🌿 Foliage: Glossy, rich green leaves that provide a healthy, attractive backdrop to the bright blooms. 

• 🔁 Blooming Habit: Reliable and repeat flowering through the season — a steady stream of color for months. 

• 🌞 Hardiness & Adaptability: Suited to USDA Zones 5–10 — rugged enough for many climates — and especially well-suited to dry or warm gardens. 

🏡 Growth & Garden Habits

• ☀️ Sun Needs: Full sun — for best bloom color and consistent performance.

• 📐 Spacing: Plant about 3–4 ft apart to allow for a lush, full effect and good air circulation.

  • Beds and border plantings

💖 Why Fast Growing Plant 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.
