I was surprised at how well this rose bloomed for me, despite a period of time when I couldn't give the garden more than minimal care (attending a dying spouse) and over several years survived our MN winter when some others just died. It did eventually succumb, but I'm putting in a new one this year after not being able to find it for several years. I liked its looks, a pleasant, light yellow, not as well as some, but its enthusiasm and health made up for not being my absolute favorite yellow. One of my favorite roses.
