Description Prized for its beautiful apricot colored petals, this rose may be hard to find in the nursery trade as it was withdrawn by the Patent holder, Jackson and Perkins, in 2001.

  Morphology:
This deciduous shrub is normally maintained at a height of 4.5' with a spread of 4’.

It was introduced in 1995 as a sport of Gold Medal. The American Rose Society classifies it as a Grandiflora type with a petal count of 26-40, arranged in a double bloom arrangement.

  Adaptation:
This plant, like other rose cultivars, needs full sun and plenty of air movement to do well.

  Pests:
Susceptible to black spot, powdery mildew and rust when it is put in a site with inadequate air movement.
