Austrian Copper Rose is an easily recognized shrub rose with single coppery-red and yellow bicolor flowers. This tall, upright plant blooms with large, flowering masses in June. It only has a single bloom, but it is quite spectacular, and it has plentiful rose hips. A large rose with sort of a brambly nature, it grows 8 to 12 feet tall and as wide or wider. It is wickedly dense with thorns, which is both a good and bad thing, depending on which side of the the rose you find yourself. A rose that has been enjoyed in gardens in Europe since the 1500's.
Grow in loamy, well drained soil and in full sun. That being said, this is a pretty adaptive plant for being a rose. Not as common as it once was, it can be seen hanging out in alley ways and older, sort-of-abandoned yards completely indifferent to the neglect. It doesn't require pruning, but can be left to ramble, which is a good thing as it is wickedly thorny.
