Rose - 'Rio Samba' - Yellow and Red

A yellow blend hybrid tea rose, 'Rio Samba' starting to bloom. The rose has yellow and red petals that change as it goes through its blooming process.

When it was introduced it became the All-American Rose Selections (AARS) winner in 1993. The rose came about by using the 'Sunbright' rose and an unnamed seedling.
