(The seed parent was a seedling.) Warriner released Rio Samba™ in 1991, and two years later it won an All-America Rose Selection. We take a special pride in Rio Samba™ here at Jackson & Perkins because it was bred by our own master rosarian, Bill Warriner, with another of his brilliant creations, golden Sunbright®, as its pollen parent. It's like a bouquet on every flowering stem, and because the buds in each cluster open at different times, you will often see very different colors on display in a single cluster of blooms! Rio Samba™ is a long-stemmed hybrid tea, but frequently the blooms arise in small clusters rather than singly. A fully blooming shrub is truly a carnival of brilliant color - which is where Rio Samba™ gets its name, of course! Over time, the red spreads down the petals, often acquiring deep pink or orange hues.

Fully double, 5 inches wide, packed with about 25 petals, and opening from long, pointed buds, these blooms unfurl a bright shade of golden-yellow, often with red edges. This hybrid tea seems to have the resilience and flower power of a shrub rose, as well as the beauty and impeccable form of an exhibition variety.Ī large measure of Rio Samba's™ charm is its flower colors, which change dramatically as the blooms mature. And yet, season after season, praise is heaped upon Rio Samba™. It cannot be expected that everyone will be pleased with any given variety. After all, Jackson & Perkins roses are shipped to all climates and conditions, to new gardeners as well as experienced rosarians. 1993 All-American Rose Selections Winner!įew roses receive nonstop raves from our customers.
