Description

Hot Tamale is a miniature hybrid rose that was developed by Dr. Keith W. Zary and introduced to the USA by Jackson Perkins in 1993. It is sometimes seen marketed as Sunbird also.

This rose shrub grows to 2-3 feet tall and 2 feet wide. It does best in full sun and well-drained soils. Prune out dead or diseased canes at any time and prune to shape in fall. This is a fairly easy rose to grow and will need some fertilizer in spring. In colder climates, it will need winter protection.

The fragrant flowers of Hot Tamale are a yellow-orange blend changing to yellow-pink, and fading to a pink-and-white blend. It repeat blooms throughout the season. and is covered in a variety of colored roses. Rose hips are produced that mature to orange.

Use this shrub in the front to middle of the border, in groups, along a walkway or in a container. Container plants will require extra winter protection.

Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems: Resistant to diseases. Black spot could be a problem. See pests of rose to the left.
