If the nitrogen atoms in a diamond are dispersed throughout the crystal in isolated sites (not paired or grouped), they give the stone an intense yellow or occasionally brown tint. The rare canary diamonds belong to this type, which represents only 0.1% of known natural diamonds.! 

 

Just as beautiful, not as rare, but still hard to find, is the exquisite 'Canary Diamond' hybrid tea rose. The Certified Roses catalog describes it as "Crisp, clean canary yellow jewel of a rose. Like glittering gemstones the dazzling, pointed buds and shapely blooms are held high like a crown on this stauesque plant. The plant is very vigorous and disease resistant. Petal count 50."

 

'Canary Diamond' was one of the last roses to be introduced by famed breeder "Ollie" Weeks and first became available in 2003. It is not usually found in garden shops, but may be mail-ordered from companies like EuroDeset Roses. Use this discount code to receive a 15% discount when ordering from EuroDesert Roses: GLEUROSES
