With origins dating back to before 1590 and introduced in Australia by C.H. Halstead in 1899 as ‘Austrian Copper’, this rose belongs to the Hybrid Foetida, Hybrid Lutea, and Species/Wild classes. The blooms are small to medium in size, with an average diameter of 1.5 inches, and come in small clusters or mostly solitary. Strong, bold, saturated blooms. The ‘Austrian Copper’ rose grows to a height of 6 to 8 feet and spreads 5 to 20 feet, thriving in USDA zone 3a and warmer. It’s described as drought-resistant with a natural hardiness that makes it a popular choice for harsher environments.
