Description
Discovered by Sir Henry Willock (United Kingdom, 1837).
Flowers have very bright and bold golden-yellow color. Rarely occasional carmine-red streaks might happen on flowers. Flowers are medium-sized, semi-double, rosette form.
It is once-blooming rose, flowering in late spring or early summer.
Very well armed with thorns / prickles, spreading and arching growth. Rosa foetida has exerted great influence on the modern stock of cultivated roses, contributing also its susceptibility to black spot.
This rose is extremely cold hardy, USDA 3 zone.
Best pruned after the flowering.
Name origin
The rose is named for its smell - foetida is Latin for "having a bad smell" - which is reminiscent of boiled linseed oil, a smell which some find objectionable. However in fact this rose has wonderful strong and sweet fragrance.

В мене така є. Вона невибаглива, але дощ!!! Цвіт одразу гніє. Одне слово, азійка! Персійка, яка любе сухе повітря. Й її аромат дійсно багатьох відпугує, пахне чимось як бджолинний віск, щось таке дивне... Но гарна. Квіткує лише один раз, на жаль.
