Landscape Notes: Beautiful, large, heavy cupped to high centered 6" blooms (petals 45) of golden primrose-yellow with soft rose-pink shadings on what should be a strong growing continual blooming bush with large, rich-green, leathery foliage. Makes a good cut flower.

Exposure/Culture: Prefers moist, slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Roses benefit from the addition of compost, aged manure, or leafmold to the planting soil. To keep the flowers coming, feed your roses with a fertilizer blended especially for roses. This can be done after each bloom cycle. Spread a layer of composted manure, compost, or shredded leaves over the base of the plant in late fall after the ground freezes. Covering these mounds and the lower parts of the bushes with evergreen boughs will add protection. Pull the mounding material away from the stem as new growth emerges in spring. Prune injured branches over when new buds emerge in spring.

Other Notes: Heavy, straight stems hold the blooms aloft. Richly vibrant, glossy green leaves are a perfect visual foil to the bi-colored blooms. You'll want to add several sprays into your floral arrangements to set off the maturing blooms.
