YELLOW - RED – yellow-red hybrid tea rose - Warriner
Bring a touch of carnival colour to your cottage-style garden with this bicolour hybrid tea, combining reliability, romance and ease of care in a compact, upright shrub ideal for family plots. Its high-centred blooms shift from sunshine yellow to fiery red, creating a spectacle in borders or as a focal specimen, while the own-root form supports a long-lived, regenerating plant that copes steadily with damp summers and fungal disease pressure near the coast. Medium-sized, double flowers appear repeatedly through the season with a fresh, fruity fragrance, offering abundant, low-effort colour for busy gardeners and beginners who want dependable impact without complicated maintenance.
Rio Samba shows moderately dense, glossy mid-green foliage.

Pollinator Attraction:
Double‑flowered, with smaller blooms and reduced stamen accessibility, it is less attractive to pollinating insects.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
