Oregold Potted Tree Rose

Rosa ‘TANolg’ Oregold

Oregold is a hybrid tea rose bred by Mathias Tantau, Jr. (Germany) and introduced in the U.S. by Jackson & Perkins in 1975. Its large, deep golden-yellow blooms hold a classic high-centered form and emit a soft fruity fragrance. The plant reaches 5–6½ feet tall with a spread of 3–4 feet, giving strong vertical presence in gardens. Blooms repeat in flushes from spring through fall, and it features dark, glossy foliage with very good disease resistance.
