Old rose bush 'Austrian Copper'
The Rosa foetida ‘Austrian Copper’, commonly known as the ‘Austrian Copper’ old garden rose, is a spectacular heritage variety renowned for its unique contrast and vibrant spring bloom. Its ample, slightly upright bushy habit forms a vigorous shrub ideal for mass planting, informal hedges, or as a specimen plant. In spring, it is covered with large, single flowers with flamboyant coppery-red petals on top and luminous golden-yellow on the reverse, creating a striking bicolor effect with the slightest movement. Lightly scented, they release a subtle and characteristic fragrance. Its blooming is singular and concentrated at the beginning of the season, followed by dull medium-green foliage. Hardy and robust, Rosa foetida ‘Austrian Copper’ attracts pollinators and brings character and authenticity to country or historic gardens.
