This rose has the thickest canes I have ever seen. It is a healthy plant and a true yellow color on the blooms. The flowers are a bit on the small size and don't hold up well in water when cut. Blooms are not long lasting. My garden is in Maryland.

Just bought this rose. I really like the yellow. Does it hold its color well in the heat and does it repeat often? I hope so!!

Aug 2007: This rose opens too quickly here in the Silicon Valley, due to the intense heat/sun. However, this year we've had a cool summer, so the blooms have stayed nice for a longer time. The color of yellow is truly heavenly, and I have seen this in a tree-form in Gilroy, CA at Bonfonte Gardens, where it was growing under high/tall trees that protected it from the burning sun. Also, this is NOT a nice looking bush, so the tree-form really hides this abnormality quite well, as I purchased this rose bush, based on the 48" tree that we saw at Bonfante!!
Here in the Silicon Valley, CA this yellow rose is quite cane-driven and the hot sun here forces the blooms to open too quickly! But I have seen it in the tree form(48") at Bonfante Gardens in Gilroy, Calif where it was heavenly in August!! Their gardeners must tend to it quite frequently.
