Sunbelt South Africa blooms all summer and doesn't fade in full sun.

I ordered several roses and this one is one I put in the ground about a month ago. It’s mid summer in zone 8a so I was a little worried but I mulched around her and have been watering regularly. She bloomed a few days ago with the first bloom. Can’t wait to see her grow and flourish! Nice bright yellow

I bought this rose along with many others from HR in the fall of 2024. As soon as spring arrived this year, South Africa took off growing like mad! She is very vigorous and healthy; while some of my other roses are absolutely swarming with aphids (looking at you, Honeymoon), she doesn’t show a single sign of pests or disease. I will say, her blooms are not at all apricot for me. I’d call them more of a canary yellow. Not exactly what I wanted, but pretty nonetheless! Perhaps it’s heat or age-related, we will see in time. Either way, I cannot fault this lovely rose and highly recommend it!

Love this enough to have added a second to my collection. Year 1 and 2 blooms were deep copper- yellow but have softened to a rich yellow- amber that is just delightful. Constantly in bloom - I'm deadheading it every two days now it's in year 3 (photo attached).
