Neutral Kell On Nov 1, 2007, Kell from Northern California, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

Rosa foetida bicolor is the most grown species rose in the world. It is a sport of Rosa Foetida which is the yellow species. It gets its name Foetida because the fragrance it emits is fetid.

It is one of 12 specie roses in the Pimpinellifoliae group, named that because their foliage is similar to pimpinella or salad burnet.

This one goes back to the 1500s. It has a great yellow reverse with a vivid orange red front. It can throw stems that flower a bright yellow bloom like its parent, Rosa foetida, which make it visually so interesting to have both colored flowers on one plant.
