I purchased this rose on June 20, 2024, and it was delivered on June 29, 2024. I had potted it for a couple weeks and then planted it July 17, 2024. It has already bloomed, and man is it beautiful. The colors are so unique, and the bloom lasted for 4 days. I would definitely recommend this plant.
I have this rose in a SW fence corner of my coastal Northern California zone 9b/10a garden. It has a perfect 4x5' form after 3 years. Perfectly blended yellow, orange and red blooms which are very healthy and the whole bush is almost always holding at least a dozen blooms! Mild to medium fragrance.
Strike it Rich is probably the lowest-maintenance rose I own. It quickly reaches 5 feet tall (by the second year) and is continuously loaded with bright orange-yellow blooms in clusters that have a moderate tea fragrance. Everybody who sees them raves about the color and asks what variety it is. The foliage is very disease- resistant, and the stems have a dark reddish color; new growth is reddish too. It doesn't last too long as a cut flower, but cutting them would only reduce the brilliant garden display anyway.
Strike it Rich would make a spectacular hedge, formal rose bed, or grown in groups of 3 or more. It's mid-October and mine are still loaded with blooms. It's a far prettier and lower-maintenance rose than Double Knockout, which is so over-planted. It has a yellow sport called 'Ch-Ching'.

I just planted this delightful rose in March and she's been the talk of the neighborhood. She puts out long-lasting blooms constantly in my 9B Coastal Texas home. She's exactly as pictured for most of the blooms, some with no pink edge, others with a little, but the glowing yellow is even more vibrant than pictured! It gives me high hopes that her blooms won't fade in the really scorching summer heat later in the year, like so many yellow roses tend to. So far, it's mid-May and she's doing great in our 86-89 degree days and not slowing down. Her fragrance varies too, from very pronounced on some roses to more muted on others. But, that gorgeous glowing deep yellow makes up for any first year hiccups. All my Heirloom roses improve every year. I couldn't be happier with this prolific beauty.
