Grandiflora Rose ‘Sunshine Daydream’
Synonyms: MEIkanaro, Raffaello
I would like to introduce you
to a 2012 All-American Rose selection called ‘Sunshine Daydream’. This one was spotted
in the small but nice rose garden inside the Magic Kingdom. The garden itself
was a surprise and I was excited to see that it featured AARS roses. In general
the roses we saw in Central Florida were fabulous. They were blooming seemingly
everywhere. Knockout roses were leading the charge, of course, but there were
plenty of hybrid teas, grandiflora and shrub roses. One type that was “missing”
was the ground cover/landscape roses but they were hardly missed.
‘Sunshine Daydream’ is listed
as both a hybrid tea and grandiflora rose so I don’t know what’s up with that.
It looks more like a grandiflora to me. Its disease resistance is supposed to
be very good, which makes it more environmentally friendly rose. It also grows
tall (up to 5 feet) and bushy. The specimens we saw were clean and vigorous. There
was no discernable fragrance.
