The rose "Victoria Gold"

growing in my rose garden

Bred in Australia by Eric Welch to commemorate the centenary of the Victorian
Rose Society, the first rose society in Australia. The rose won an award in 1999.
Looks great as a hedge because its a very leafy compact shaped bush and is quick
to repeat. The roses come in small clusters and have a fine edge of deep-apricot.
Local Australians can see this rose featured as a hedge around the rotunda in the
Werribee Rose garden in Victoria

flower is a beautiful shape - if it came in white or pink I'd add it to the shortlist for our hedge. ;-)
