"The RHS has named a rose, bred by Harkness Roses, for The Princess of Wales, to celebrate the incredible healing power of nature and raise awareness of the important role that spending time outdoors plays in bringing us joy and supporting our mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing."

An appropriate name for a beautiful rose.  I love the color as I've always favored corals.

Just beautiful.  My mother always had a favorite rose - it was coral.  All I can remember is that it was Jackson Perkins.

@Bonkers1.  For years "Tropicana" was the most popular coral rose.

OMG that was it.  I knew it as soon as I saw Tropicana.  I might try to find it to see if it is still around.  Thank you so much.

It's a beautiful rose and prolific bloomer.  Must be fairly disease resistant or it wouldn't be so popular.

@Iwantcoffee  I have a Tropicana rose bush, and it has a nice smell too...all my roses are very fragrant or I don't buy them.  Mine came from Weeks Nursery...I have it for a few years.

Coral is not favorite color of mine but I do like the smell.

My absolute favorite rose is the Neptune and I ordered that one from Heirloom Roses...the smell is divine. 

I have several other rose bushes that each have a beautiful fragrance.   Here in Florida, it's hard to keep them healthy...so early spring is best here....its just too humid and hot.

Hope you get your rose

@Kachina624 I'd call that color orange.  It is an almost shockingly bright color.

@Sooner.  Okay you call it orange.

The thing is, all of these are called 'Tropicana'. To me, ther first is coral and is beautiful. The others are more of an orange and pretty but, to me, not as pretty.
