Horticultural history and site conditions as an ornamental plant
The wild rose Rosa foetida was probably introduced to Europe from Central Asia or Southwest Asia in 1540 . The orange-red sport Rosa foetida 'Bicolor' was also introduced to Europe in the 16th century. It is also known by the synonym 'Austrian Copper'.
Another sport, 'Persiana' or 'Persian Yellow', with double, yellow flowers was found in 1837. The rose breeder Joseph Pernet-Ducher crossed the first yellow garden rose - 'Soleil d´Or' - from this sport of Rosa foetida , which came onto the market in 1900 . The yellow and orange-red flowers of modern garden roses only emerged through the crossing of Rosa foetida .
