Rose "Aurora" ("Voskhod").

  Several completely distinct and independent rose varieties are known by the name "Aurora." Since you mentioned the alternative name "Voskhod" (meaning "Sunrise"), you are likely referring to a unique domestic (Russian) variety, though gardeners often also search for the famous European variety of the same name.

Rose "Aurora".

 Below are the characteristics of the main rose varieties bearing this name, so you can accurately identify the specific flower you are interested in.

 1. Rose 'Aurora' ('Voskhod'; V. N. Klimenko and Z. K. Klimenko, 1967)

This is a legendary Soviet-bred Hybrid Tea rose, created at the Nikitsky Botanical Garden by crossing the varieties 'Charles Mallerin' and 'Chrysler Imperial'.

 Color and bud: Rich, bright red. The buds have a classic high-centered, urn-like shape. The flowers are very large—reaching 15–16 cm in diameter—and are very double (densely petaled).

 Bush: Vigorous, spreading, and robust; it can grow up to 2 meters tall. The leaves are dark green with a distinct leathery and slightly wrinkled texture, reminiscent of *Rosa rugosa* foliage.

 Features: Blooms very profusely during the hottest part of summer. The flowers open slowly and possess a pleasant, classic fragrance. The variety is ideal for cutting; the bloom stays fresh in a vase for up to 8 days. By autumn, young shoots may be susceptible to powdery mildew.

 2. Climbing rose "Aurora" (Reimer Kordes, Germany, 1956)

If you are looking for a plant in modern European catalogs, the name "Aurora" most often refers to this variety from the famous Kordes nursery. 

 Color: Delicate pink-apricot or yellow-orange with a soft pink edge on the petals. When fully open, the cupped bloom reveals a golden center.

 Bush: A tall, upright climber reaching 200–300 cm in height. The canes are sturdy yet flexible enough to be trained onto arches and trellises.

 Features: Medium-sized blooms (7–8 cm) appear in small clusters of 3–5. It boasts a vibrant, sweet, fruity fragrance. The variety is notable for its excellent cold hardiness (USDA Zone 6) and high resistance to common rose diseases.

 3. Other modern variations

 Aromatic Aurora (2025): A brand-new, low-growing "Rugosa" rose (50–70 cm) featuring delicate pink single flowers, an intensely perfumed scent, and edible bright orange hips in autumn.

 Aurora Gardens: An imported peony-style garden rose—popular in modern floristry for its soft cream or white hues—widely used in bespoke floral arrangements.
