Notes:

There's a color photograph of this rose in the November 1998 issue of the American Rose Society's American Rose magazine (p. 28). It is being introduced by Royall River Roses and is an excellent yellow rose for northern gardeners.

In North Creek Farm's 2001 catalog, Suzy Verrier writes that she's not quite sure why this rose has two names -- 'Winter Sunset' and 'Fuzzy Navel'...
