More information
Masquerade was introduced in 1949 as a new type of rose cultivar. The blooms open as bright yellow flowers, then shift first to pink and then to bright crimson. This colour pattern enabled extensive further breeding work. Over the following 25 years, hundreds of seedlings and more distant descendants of Masquerade were released worldwide, and multi‑coloured roses spread widely in cultivation. Masquerade flowers are semi-marginal in form and borne in large clusters, usually 10–20 per spray. The fruits ripen afterwards. The foliage is small, dark, and resistant to diseases. The bush is vigorous and flowers over a long period.
