City of San Francisco rose is a beautiful shade of red which lasts without fading. It blooms in very large clusters. The fragrance is very mild to my nose, but is pleasant. My bush is about five feet tall (in zone 9), and is very healthy.

City of San Francisco just won the 'Golden Rose Award' at the International Trials held at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier California.
The award is given to the best rose over a two year evaluation.
