Description

The listing, VIBRANT Austrian Copper or Harison's Yellow single rambling rose PLANT has ended.

Vibrant deep rusty orange called Austrian Copper and bright yellow called Harison’s Yellow single rambling roses. These grow together at our home so I can’t tell you which one you will get but they are absolutely gorgeous. When in full bloom the plant(s) are a carpet of blooms that make it a showpiece. On each branch there are about 5 blooms and they are abundant and re-bloom during the summer. In our area it is hot in the summer and snow in winter. The bush is about 8’ or 9’ by about 5’ by 5’ tall. My son takes the chainsaw to trim it just before the snow is due to come or it is just way out of control so you can imagine the care he takes…trims it like a hedge about 3 ½ to 4’ high and to about 6’ by 4’. As usual, I don’t water it much but it is by the canal that borders our property (about 3’ or 4’ away). The branches of the bush literally drapes like a waterfall with the blooms cascading down the branch. There would be more flowers on each branch except it is so dense in the middle. This auction is for ONE PLANT that will be dug up and sent after the auction is won so it is definitely fresh. The ones I am shipping out will be anywhere from 6” and up and with several leaves on them but I haven’t sent these out before so I am not sure if they will stay on or not. I will ship out on a Monday or Tuesday so you get this the same week. The roses pictured are from highcountryroses.com and do not seem to be a true color to mine but are close. You can find growing instructions and actual costs of the roses from them there. My blooms are a more intensely saturated color. They are a favorite of mine. While I lived in California my sister grew roses that were exquisite but these, although simple, are so showy that they put hers to shame. For sheer impact this beats the more formal roses by a long shot! My son treats this as a hedge to keep it contained but in the added pictures you can see the size to an extent and the true vibrant colors of the roses.

I shipped 4 large ones at one time and they were $20. One large one would be less but the size of the package makes a difference. If you wanted a rooted one that is cut down, I could ship it for less.

I will have to find this out on Tuesday as everything will be closed due to the holiday. If you do not get this one just let me know and I will put another one up for you.

If you look in one of the pictures it's showing the roses growing up into the apricot tree. These get very large if not pruned. This has been blooming for almost 2 weeks now.

Yes it will still grow this year. It will just get a more solid start as it is as pruning, the root system gets more juice. I know it will take a bit of time to grow the top back but these are honestly the fastest growing roses I've seen in a long time. I shudder to think what ours would look like if we didn't do such drastic pruning every year. It would positively take over on everything!
