This rose is nice and vigorous...another reason I like it. This one is almost more beautiful before it opens ...when it has a dark blush over the ground colour...which is a deep gold. Once it opens it is still very nice but the colours are more intense when it is still in the unopened bud state. Although I haven't been through a winter yet with this rose, I expect it will be OK.....I bought it at a local outlet...which [not always] but usually carry roses hardy for the zone....I'm in zone 5b ...I have lost roses here before, but I'm protecting them this year ( which I never did before ....too busy winterizing and finishing up other outdoor stuff before the snow flies)...I just got finished wrapping with burlap and stuffing dry leaves down around the crowns of my roses...so I expect I will have better luck.

The flower carries a moderate intense sweet damask fragrance.
The flowers form in excuisitely perfect clusters on long stems which could be cut at the cane and placed into a vase.
I have had no disease/pest problems using Bayer 3in1 systemic (once a month) and spectrocide 3in1 spray(once every 2 weeks).

The blooms are pretty, it is one of the few in the yellow spectrum I have been able to grow with success. The stems are long for a grandiflora, and are reddish and attractive. There are not many thorns on the flower stems at all. Because it is a grandiflora, it will through a bunch of blooms at one time, making it easy to get enough for cut flower arrangements.
I give this rose a "thumbs up" with the hope that it is more commonly like the hardy one I have that makes it through the winter, rather than the wimpy one that died the first winter.

Must have been a good winter for plants. It opens a peach-orange and turns to yellow the more mature it gets. Lovely scent and beautiful in bouquets. Repeat-blooms through the year to Fall.

It doesn't behave quite like a floribunda to me, but I've had plenty of flowers. It is a bit leggier than other varieties that I have now, but it might be different lighting conditions.
