More information
Edith Holden was bred by Chris Warner before he became a professional breeder. This cultivar exhibits a colour classified as brown or coffee. The flowers are a dark, blazing orange with a brown patina, fading to a smoky pink, with a yellow tinge at the centre. Yellow stamens fade to grey. The reverse of the petals is always slightly paler. Flowers appear in clusters on long shoots of 5–11, and small orange fruits form in autumn. Flowering is almost continuous. The foliage is bright green and glossy; young growth is bronze; thorns are few. The bush is strong-growing; in hot climates it can be trained on a support as a pleached rose, although the plant is stiff enough to grow without supports.
A floribunda bred in the UK by Chris Warner, a breeder of miniature pleached roses. Edith Holden bears semi-double flowers with a colour within the brown class, described as close to true brown. Copper-brown blooms with tones of ochre, tobacco, and orange show an almost iridescent sheen in bright sunshine. In cold weather the flowers are darker and display dark veins. The stamens are bright ochre. It does not bloom as profusely as BrownVelvet or Hot Cocoa. The variety is very strong-growing; once well rooted, it forms a large bush (up to 2 m even in cold climates), with upright, erect shoots that can be lowered onto a low support. The foliage is shiny, dark green; flowers are usually no larger than 6–7 cm in diameter.
