The challenge to describe this unique rose was best articulated by one nursery who called it a 'symphony in colours'. It has been expressed thus - '…clusters of brunette buds that swirl open to reveal ruffles washed with orchid pink', and also as '…shades of copper, beige with dusty pink'. When Distant Drums first came out, it was regarded as somewhat of a novelty but eventually became respected and sought after. This is not only for the rare and exquisite colours, but also as a vigorous, healthy, and hardy choice. And because its unusual colour is neither strident nor harsh, Distant Drums blends harmoniously into a perennial border.
For thousands of years roses have held a special attraction for mankind. Regarded as the ultimate icon of love, grace, beauty, and elegance, they continue to be the subject of art and poetry throughout the world. Here at Whiffletree we eventually succumbed to the temptation to lengthen our rose lineup. Now that we’ve fully fallen under the spell of this beguiling flower, you can expect this section to expand. In keeping with the rest of our catalogue, we intend to retain a strong emphasis on natural disease resistance.

Purchased and planted this year. Another beauty. First shipment was delivered to wrong address and then re-delivered to correct address but this rose did not survive so the Seller sent me a replacement. I'm having it bloom right now for the first time. The bud was dark pink which opened up to a sort of marigold or coppery center which is nuancing into an apricot/pinkish color; the older outer petals have a soft orchid frill. It's still unfurling as I write. Sellers description seems apt.
