Shot Silk

Shot Silk. How could you not fall in love with this Tea beauty? No photograph can do it justice. Introduced into commerce in 1924 the flowers are cherry-cerise, shading to golden yellow at their base with an overall silvery silky shine, impressed even the judges at the 1923 National Rose Society who award it the Gold Medal. The blooms are double with 27 petals, high centered and very fragrant. The foliage is glossy and slight curled on this vigorous plant. The thorns are numerous, but with ever blooming roses on this plant, you won't mind. Hardy in zones 6 - 9.
