Whether gathered in a bouquet by itself or added to a bundle of lime-green chrysanthemums, the lush, double, tangerine blooms of Marmalade Skies™ Rose will boldly shine. It features clusters of rounded 3-inch blooms, each possessing anywhere from 18 to 24 soft petals, and lustrous emerald green foliage. This perennial shrub is otherwise known as Rosa Marmalade Skies™ ('Meimonblan'), Rosa 'Alpes', 'MEImonblan', and Rosa 'Tangerine Dream'. Reaching a maximum height and spread of 2 to 3 feet, Marmalade Skies™ works well in any landscape whether planted alone as a specimen or en masse in a border or low hedge. Yielding cut-flower quality floribunda blooms and foliage from spring to fall, this shrub’s beauty can be enjoyed both outside in the garden and inside wherever you so choose to display a bouquet of these beautiful blooms.
Cold hardy in zones 5-10, this All-American Rose Selections winner possesses a compact, bushy growth habit. A native of Asia and western Europe, this hybrid floribunda rose’s foliage is disease resistant. Attracting pollinators with its blooms’ gorgeous color and light fragrance, bees will be happily buzzing around your backyard all summer long. Marmalade Skies™ Rose is unfortunately appreciated by deer even more than the bees, so plant a few deer-resistant companion plants beside this award-winning rose bush such as bee balm, daisies, and lavender if deer are an issue.
Marmalade Skies™ Rose Care
Marmalade Skies™ Rose, a floribunda, needs at least six hours of full sun to thrive. Plant this shrub in a hole twice as wide as its root ball and almost as deep in loamy, slightly acidic (pH 6.5 to 7.0), well-drained soil. If necessary, amend the top soil with peat moss/coco coir to improve the soil’s drainage. Provide this attractive perennial with at least 1 to 2 inches of water weekly. Prior to watering, however, first, check the top 1 to 3 inches to see if they are dry. To promote growth and encourage blooming, feed this award winner monthly during its growing season from spring until summer.
During late winter / early spring, lightly prune this perennial. To encourage growth and prevent disease in a young plant, trim any dead, damaged, or diseased canes. If this shrub is older, however, you may have to shear a few inches first. Deadhead spent flowers during the blooming season, and depending on what zone you live in, cover the rose crown with a few inches of soil/mulch in late fall to winterize.
Marmalade Skies™ Rose Spacing
Adding splashes of sunrises and sunsets to any landscape with its bounteous orange blooms, Marmalade Skies™ Rose is superb whether planted alone or in a low, flowering hedge. For mass planting, space plants 30 to 36 inches apart. It looks fabulous paired with golden sunflowers, burnt orange ranunculus, and royal purple statice. Also growing well in containers, this perennial’s bright blooms brighten up patios and porches.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
