Warm, glowing, and wonderfully fragrant, Gold Blush brings a beautiful touch of creamy white-to-apricot-gold to the garden. Its large, 3–4-inch blooms blend soft cream, apricot, pink, and orange tones, creating a warm, painterly display that seems to change with the light. And then there’s the fragrance: a rich, cinnamon-like scent that makes this rose especially memorable when in full bloom.
A vigorous yet mannerly climber, Gold Blush is wonderfully versatile in the landscape. Let its long canes tumble and mingle at the back of a border, train it along a fence or small trellis, or give it room to develop into a handsome specimen in an obelisk. Its upright, spreading growth and medium green, semi-glossy foliage provide an attractive backdrop for the warm-colored flowers.
The blooms arrive in spring or summer flushes, followed by scattered flowering later in the season. Removing spent blooms can help encourage additional flowering, while a little patience in the first couple of years will allow this vigorous climber to establish a strong framework. Once established, prune lightly, and periodically remove older, unproductive wood to keep it vigorous and blooming well.
Bred by John A. Starnes Jr. in the United States in 2003, Gold Blush is a cross of Rosa moschata × ‘Abraham Darby’. With its unusual cinnamon perfume, glowing apricot-gold blooms, and adaptable climbing habit, it’s a rose that brings both color and character to the garden.

We ship our roses from September to May. Other items ship year round.
At checkout, you may choose your desired delivery timeframe. This is a very important step!
We do ask that you make sure the weather in your zone is suitable for receiving and plating your roses.
Antique Rose Emporium is in Texas and the December weather can be anywhere from below freezing to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. But our weather is extremely mild compared to the northern United States.
We want you to have the best success possible with your roses and ask that you let us care for them over the winter and receive them at the time that you plan to plant.
Please ensure that you are not experiencing freezing temperatures and the ground is not frozen when you plan to receive your rose.
