Gold Medal purchased from...I admit and hang my head it shame...Home Depot.
This is one very beautiful rose, a big bush even in a container, and quite disease resistant most years. This year is has been prone to mildew due to our horrible wet and cold summer.
I'm not crazy about the smell of this rose as I am of the colors it presents. Buds start a raspberry sherbert, then deep deep yellow and bloom gradually fades to very pale yellow/cream. It last over a week on the branch but dies too quickly in a vase for my taste. The scent on hotter days is a mild tea, but most days smells like a plastic rose! I'd get rid of it if I had another big one like this to replace it.
