    This rose undergoes an amazing metamorphosis. A cocoa-brown bud opens into a russet-tan bloom with strong mauve overtones. The bloom later fades to gold with russet edges, displaying a wealth of stamens. The petals are crinkled, like silk crepe, in all stages of bloom. The rose is exceptionally difficult to find and even more difficult to grow. It needs perfect soil in the perfect location to thrive. I moved it three times before it stopped looking droopy and started producing blooms.
