Rosa 'Tuscan Sun'

Tuscan Sun Floribunda Rose

Rosa 'Tuscan Sun' is a floribunda rose known for its deep apricot‑orange blooms that sometimes mellow into softer peach tones. The double flowers emit a light, spicy fragrance and appear in continual flushes from late spring through fall. Glossy foliage frames the blossoms and retains a clean, healthy appearance through the season.

Introduced under the cultivar name JACthain, this rose offers a strong disease resistance architecture and dependable repeat flowering habit. Gardens worldwide appreciate it for its garden vigor and the warm, glowing hue of its blossoms.

Planting & care

Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Floribundas bloom in generous clusters, and light shaping keeps the framework rounded and full.
