'Beauty of Glazenwood', 'Gold of Ophir' these flattering names for this rose give an idea of its popularity, even though it is not very cold hardy. Gertrude Jekyll describes its delightful spring performance as "loaded with...glorious loose copper-colored bloom". Seen up close the double flowers are a rich apricot-yellow with a blush of rose or crimson on the outer petals. The vining character of the canes, handsome, apple green foliage and unique color combine to make this one of the most useful of the once-blooming roses. It is extremely thorny, but the rewards of growing this rose are well worth a few pricks and scratches. This is another of the roses discovered by Robert Fortune in his exploration of Chinese gardens.

We ship from September to May. At checkout on our website, 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. We are in Texas and in December the weather can be anywhere from below freezing to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but are 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.
