Grandiflora -Deep gold surrounded by cerise pink

These colors will warm the cockles of the coolest heart. Each well-formed flower has a butter-gold center surrounded by hot cerise. Don’t resist! Nestle your nose into the petals and take in the toe-tingling fragrance of sweet peaches and old roses. A true Grandiflora, she’ll give you lots of long stemmed beauties on a sturdy vigorous plant.

I am absolutely taken with this rose! I am so glad I bought it this year. It reminds me of Chicago Peace, which I have always loved. But this rose has better bud form and the bush is healthier. Marilynne Kinner Hansville, WA
