I bought it the first year it was on the market. It was a little slow to bloom at first, probably it is partly shaded by a large tree. Now it produces deep yellow beautiful blossoms with a wonderful fragrance quite often and it's my favorite yellow rose and I have several. It is far more fragrant than Strike It Rich, its parent, or Radiant Perfume.
Thank you !! I have a partial shade garden, rock-hard clay, and alkaline-tap-water at pH 9.1 (listed on my town's website). Thank God we have 38" to 40" of rain per year, and pH of rain here is quite acidic in the 4.5 range. I also grow roses to cut for the vase, and your info. really help me.
Apl 2011 ~ SummerWinds Garden Center of SF Bay Area has all roses on sale for 20 % off ending May 5th. About 90% of the bushes were in full bloom, so it was a good time to view & judge each rose. ch-Ching has a deep honey scent, which was heavenly! The stems are long and it seems to hold its color for several days now; I could see the relation to its parent , 'STRIKE IT RICH'
