Advantages and Disadvantages of Sunshine Antique Rose

Sunny Antike is a miniature rose and one of the large-flowered miniature roses in the Antique series.

It was bred by the famous rose breeders Cordes and his sons and launched in 2010. It is now introduced all over the world and is popular among rose lovers. It is mainly used as balcony potted plants.

Although it is not as famous as the "Balcony" series, it is not inferior in all aspects and is more suitable for cultivation by novice flower lovers.

The weather is gradually getting cooler, and the season that is neither too cold nor too hot is more suitable for growing flowers. It is better to turn the balcony at home into a small garden and choose an excellent flowering plant, such as the Sunshine Antique Rose, which has a short and small plant with green leaves and beautiful flowers, and is easy to maintain.

The main reason is that Sunshine Antique has a super long flowering period and is a very good gardening variety. The flower color is a charming deep lemon yellow, with a layer of light yellow-white around the petals, and cute little pointed corners, which is very beautiful.

Advantages of Sunshine Antique Rose

The flowers of the Sunshine Antique Rose are very large, with a diameter of up to twelve centimeters. The large, round and plump buds are cup-shaped, with more than fifty petals. The flowers are thick and full, and emit a sweet fruity scent when they bloom. The fragrance is rich and very pleasant.

(1) Green leaves and beautiful flowers

Sunshine Antique is a micro-moon tree that is very ornamental overall. First of all, the tree shape is round and beautiful, with many branches and dense leaves. The surface of the leaves is smooth and emerald green, shiny and sparkling, as if they were coated with oil.

Secondly, the flowers are also beautiful. It is one of the representative varieties of yellow roses. The flower color is pure lemon yellow with a layer of white lace on the outside. The whole flower is clean and tidy.

Although it is not very popular, it is gentle and fresh. The flower is cup-shaped, with a diameter of 10 to 12 cm. It is round and full. The flower is large but not drooping, with a strong three-dimensional sense, always giving people a positive feeling.

(2) Rich aroma

In addition to its attractive appearance, the fragrance of Sunshine Antique is also widely praised, making it a famous aromatic rose.

When the flowers open, they emit a rich fruity scent, similar to the scent of lemon. It is rich but not turbid, and very volatile. People can smell it even if they are standing several meters away.

If you plant them in the yard, the fragrance will fill the whole garden. If you grow them on the balcony, the fragrance will fill the room once the flowers bloom. It is not only enjoyable, but also effective in refreshing the air. You can pick a few flowers and put them in a vase with clean water. They can also be used as cut roses, so you can enjoy the flowers and smell the fragrance.

(3) Flowers bloom in all seasons

Miniature roses do not exist in nature. They are all artificially cultivated for the purpose of viewing. They have the ability to bloom repeatedly throughout the four seasons.

Those who have raised flowers know this, so I won’t go into details. The advantage of Sunshine Antique over other micro-moonflowers is that the flower shape can still maintain the standard when it blooms in high temperatures in summer.

Moreover, the flowering period of a single flower is very long. It can last for half a month in spring and autumn, and more than a week in summer. The re-flowering is also very fast. If the flowers are properly cared for, they can bloom every month.

Disadvantages of Sunshine Antique Rose

The disadvantage of the Sunshine Antique Rose is that it is difficult to care for and is easily attracted by insects. It requires regular pruning and is difficult to cultivate. It is not a variety that is easy to survive.
