A Royal Circus Rose Bloom - Preston - a photo on Flickriver

            I took a stroll in the beautiful spring sunshine today, and I walked past this striking yellow and orange "Royal Circus" rose in the garden of a stylish 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa.  Bathed in full sun, the bloom looked positively aflame!  I couldn't resist photographing it.

Circus roses were first bred in 1956 in the United States by Herbert Swim.  They were introduced later that year to the American market by Armstrong Nursery.  Herbert Swim was a famous rose breeder who bred roses for blooms that would hold up to the hot summer sun.  He is credited with raising a number of varieties of roses over his career.  The rose "Royal Circus" (also known simply as "Circus") was created by crossing the Floribunda rose "Pinocchio" with the hybrid tea "Fandango" rose.  The result is this gorgeous yellow rose that produces vibrant reddish edges.

Spring has finally come to Melbourne, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.
