Large flowers open bright yellow and fade through deep pink to cherry red, so a plant in bloom carries the full range at once. Sunset Horizon™ rose (Rosa 'Meisistoma') grows 3 to 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide in full sun, hardy from Zone 5 through Zone 10.
The flowers carry about 15 petals, so they open wide and flat rather than staying tight, and they are notably large when fully open.
The color change happens on individual flowers rather than between them, which is what creates the fiery effect on a single bush. Bees can reach the open centers, and Star lists it as a plant for pollinators.
It has taken three awards: American Garden Rose Selections, A.R.T.S., and Portland's Best Rose. Disease resistance is excellent. The scent is very slight.
