Diamond Jubilee

May 4th, 2012

Scharlachglut

If we go back to 1952 there were few that could surpass the new introduction Scharlachglut a.k.a Scarlet Fire. Bred by Willhelm Kordes it was quite an unusual cross as it had the old Gallica rose Alika as one parent. The large single scarlet flowers are set alight by the central boss of golden stamens like exploding sparks.

The magnificent display of regal red blooms at midsummer is followed by huge decorative fruits making it a wonderful  attraction for both bees and birds.
