This rose is impossibly bright and vibrant. Blooms in clusters of rich neon orange in a velvet texture. They don't fade much but do turn more neon red with age before fading at the late end of the bloom. They grow fast and well but will need blackspot protection if you live n a humid place or have odd springs that quickly switch between warm and cool. Flowers are up to 3.5 inches across usually in lovely clusters. A good spring pruning greatly boosts this plants vigor. Potted in Zone 7a and doing well going on 5 years. I spent years looking for one and my first bush was pitiful. Years later I found a seller and bought 5. I love this plant and hope it keeps in collection for generations to come. This rose is stunning and would make a nice hybridizer to get some good oranges.

If you like it you shoudl check out Salita, which may be related to it. Same eye-bleed red-orange coloration, but bigger, fatter blooms.

Good Morning
I have an 8ft Salita. Thats a great recommendation, I Absolutely love it. My particular one is a little less neon vibrant at the Brillant but you are correct they are fatter. I have a big collection of orange roses I plan on adding my pics and 2cents on here. Something about that color is just spectacular on a rose for me.
