The rose variety Queen of Roses , synonymous with 'Color Wonder' or 'Queen of Roses', is a double, salmon-orange flowering hybrid tea with durable, fragrant flowers that are yellow on the underside.

The rose is susceptible to sooty mildew and powdery mildew and in rough locations sensitive to frost.
'Queen of the Roses' has a very long shelf life as a cut rose; however, the flowers should not be cut too buddy.
