Rosa Sunshine Orange | Indoor rose
rose
Warm and vibrant, this compact rose makes a striking flowering houseplant and and an ideal longer lasting gift alternative to a bouquet of flowers. Its rich orange blooms open in layers of soft, ruffled petals, blending tones of apricot and tangerine that deepen towards the edges.
The glossy, dark green foliage forms a neat backdrop, highlighting the glowing colour of each flower. Upright yet compact in habit, Rosa Sunshine Orange suits windowsills, tabletops, or bright indoor spots where it can be enjoyed up close.
After its indoor flowering display, it can be gradually hardened off and planted outdoors in a patio pot for further enjoyment through the summer months. With regular watering, feeding, and deadheading, it will continue to reward with fresh growth and repeat flowering.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Rosa Sunshine Orange:
Place near a sunny window, avoiding intense midday sun that can scorch the foliage. Keep the compost evenly moist but never waterlogged, and always allow excess water to drain freely. Normal indoor humidity is fine, though the plant appreciates fresh air and should be kept away from radiators and draughts.
Feed every two weeks during flowering with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support healthy growth and repeat blooms. Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage new buds and maintain a compact shape. After flowering, allow the plant a short rest by reducing watering slightly.
Once the indoor display has finished, the rose can be gradually acclimatised to outdoor conditions—start by placing it outside for a few hours a day before planting it into a patio pot with well-drained loam-based compost. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot, and continue regular watering and feeding through the warmer months.
After the main flowering period, lightly prune to maintain the plant’s shape and remove any dead or weak stems. For established plants grown outdoors in pots, a slightly harder prune in early spring — cutting back the previous season’s growth by around one-third — will promote dense new growth and better flowering later in the season. Throughout the growing period, continue to deadhead spent blooms to keep the plant tidy and encourage repeat flowering.
