ROSA FOETIDA ‘BICOLOR ‘
WILD ROSE FROM ASIA MINOR / CAPUCINE, ‘AUSTRIAN COPPER’
Whereas all European and American wild roses come in shades of white, pink and light red, Rosa foetida- ‘Austrian briar ‘ from Asia Minor –passed on the long-sought-after yellow colour . It was probably brought to Europe as early as the Middle Ages, along with its sport, the Capucine rose (Rosa foetida’Bicolor’). This splendidly coloured rose became the ancestor of today ‘s yellow and orange varieties. Unfortunately, together with the special colour,it also passed on its susceptibility to black spot. The capucine rose still deligthts today; its fiery-coloured blooms begin to open early in May; and it has the added curiosity that the blooms sometimes revert to their original yellow colour , so that both colours can be seen on a single plant at the same time.
