Very few Austins have unfading coloured blooms and this is one of them. The colour is very modern, like a mix of minneola orange peel and cinnamon.
Very easy from cuttings and a grafted plant easily roots to become a own root plant if planted deeply. Not hardy though, dies back to the snowline or top of protection in Z6 winters.

While the colour is modern, it's also extremely unusual - outstanding in the best sense - in its deep burnt orange hue that is strong and yet not garish at all. The perfume matches it, as it is not only very powerful and deliciously fruity, but also unusual - not so much orange as banana!
The only drawback of this beautiful rose is that (mine at least) is a bit slow to rebloom. But what a showstopper when it's in full flower!

I've ordered from Rosenhof Schultheis now for a couple of seasons, and I can attest that this German nursery deserves the highest praise for the selection and superb quality of their plants and their careful packaging. They are very friendly and knowledgeable, and the quality of their service and their integrity are excellent. Although I live in the UK which has several well-known nurseries, Schultheis is now my first address for roses. Highly recommended!

This appears to be a second Desmond Tutu bred by Amanda Beales, varietal name Beafatty, a red blend. There's sure to be confusion with the Kordes rose.
