Initial Notes:

This cultivar was hybridized in 1987 by Moore. It is characteristic of all rugosas in growth habit and appearance, especially the thorny canes. As with all rugosas care needs to be taken in handling and pruning. Grows to about 3-4' and begins bloom in late spring to early summer, with repeat blooms until early fall.

Lovely medium yellow blooms are lightly scented. The vast, and biggest problem with any rose here is the ever-present Japanese Beetle beginning around the 4th of July. They can devour an entire flower in less than a day. It seems the more fragrance, the more beetles.
