This was the first rose I ever bought from Heirloom, in 1995, after seeing it in their garden. It was a seedling rose, as were all of the roses I bought from Heirloom in the '90s. I planted it in an area that got partial sun and has since become more shaded, but this rose performs amazingly well despite the shade and It's still going strong after all this time. The color is amazing, brilliant yellow-gold centers shading through pinks to carmine red, and the plant is compact and healthy, I've never had any sign of disease or pests. An altogether wonderful rose. I've planted three of these and only wish I could get more!
