Introduced in 1929, this rose was certainly one of the most widely grown roses in the world, in the 30´s of last century. About forty mutations of "Talisman" were extensively marketed either as plants or as garden roses. "Talisman" was much appreciated by rose breeders and florists, for its regular abundant flowering that flourishes until the end of autumn. The beautiful double flowers are of a unique yellow-orange color, quite elegant and fragrant, blooming singly in the end of the wide branches, covered by medium green foliage.
As matter of fact, one can say that this rose is “predictable and reliable”, hence its commercial success in the past.
