Rose Port Sunlight is a repeat flowering shrub rose with medium to large flat quartered rosettes in a rich apricot shade that softens towards the edges. The blooms carry a gentle tea scent and sit on a vigorous upright plant with bronzy red young growth that matures to deep green. This variety grows well in sun or partial shade in soil that stays moist yet drains freely and offers strong colour through the season. It suits borders or larger containers where its warm tones can be enjoyed at close range.
