'KORvibaex' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

So far, about 3 layers of petals. They seem to lay flat when fully opened and exposed and changing color.

J&P has sold out of this variety, but for the curious, they do have pictures. Brilliant, glowing color in the opening stages. I am personally not a big fan of yellow roses which fade to pink, as this one seems to do in some of the pix here @ HMF.

Mine went from chrome yellow to umber red. None of the foliage spotted despite its low air circulation location.
Personally, I was hoping for a little fuller bloom, but I'll accept this so far.
Edit: they finally went to white and arf ruddy pink. Bark bark...

Not what you wanna hear for a member of the "Sunbelt" collection. I was hoping to hear it was far superior to Kordes' Firebird, but this one has no awards nor commendations beyond the marketing material, unlike Firebird.

It has proven to be better than Firebird here, especially in petal count, initial color phases, and plant habit/size. Health seems to be good in the PNW, as well.
However, the final color is similar, and the form tends to lay flat after a day or so.
Fiesta Veranda is not a heavy bloomer and the blooms fade badly and stay that way for eternity, but the plant is very nice and the plant shape is ideal for the class.
Despite their faults and low petal count, I still prefer Playboy and Sunset Horizon. They're workhorses here in the landscape. I have yet to try out En Fuego, although it appears to be more like Garden Delight in color, so not a dramatic color shifting rose.
Garden Delight is a very good rose, but its not really a color changer like the above roses.
There is still a way to go for this niche of the rose world.

Star markets as a rose that performs especially well in dry climates. I'm not sure if I should interpret as bs-prone or drought-tolerant. I am in a climate that suffers both, ironically.

I'm truly not sure why they market it that way.
