More information

This variety has not won international awards, is susceptible to powdery mildew, and may die after low pruning. Whisky produces flowers with a delicate fragrance. Blooms are apricot-pink with a yellow reverse and show a red-orange flush on opening. In hot climates the color is much paler, usually a delicate yellow; in cooler conditions the coloration is stronger. Cup-shaped flowers with wavy petals develop from buds; they are rain-resistant and last well as cut flowers. Foliage is dark green; the bush is prickly and spreading.

Often treated as a floribunda rather than a hybrid tea. Reported as one of the most popular roses in England.

Silhouetted bush to 1 m, with large, golden-amber, fragrant blooms. Quite susceptible to powdery mildew; in severe winters it frosts hard.

Bright apricot-yellow flowers appear singly or in small clusters. The bush is slightly spreading and very prickly. Disease resistance is weak; preventive measures are needed in cold months. Flowering performance improves in cold weather.
