More information
Champagne Cocktail is described as the first of the yellow “hand-painted” roses, and its coloration also recalls Masquerade. The blooms open bright yellow, then shift to apricot, and finally to vivid strawberry pink. A large area of the petals turns red—first with an orange cast, later crimson—in the form of minute dots and dashes. This coloration is inherited from the Old Master variety. The petal reverses are much paler. Petal edges are irregular and wavy. Blooms retain their color and appear in clusters of 4–11. The foliage is dark green and prone to black spotting in cold climates. In hot weather, the flowers are brighter.
