  • Notes

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.
