If you're interested in trying an English Rose and like yellow roses, I highly recommend Golden Celebration, even more than the commonly-recommended Graham Thomas. GC blooms in clusters, like most English Roses, but the blooms are larger than most. My favorite thing about GC, however, is the scent. The blooms have a wonderfully strong, sweet, fruity fragrance that you are sure to love.

just recently planted my bare root and it's budding leaves. Will see how it does here in zone 11.
9/24/04 - very pleased with all 3 Austin roses (from J&P) I planted. This one is a pretty warm gold in color and mine have had from 90-160 petals. Have noticed bugs seem to prefer English rose leaves over the floribundas and other shrub roses... I get little fragrance, which may be due to climate or garden conditions.

I purchased this rose cheap, as it was in pretty bad shape at the time. It went in the "rose hospital" under quarentine, and I really forgot about it for a season!
Last year (2003), it grew to 8 feet, had geeee-or-jus blooms/scent!
This year I pegged it to a trellis about 6 feet away to expand the coverage and stimulate vertical growth along the canes.
Winter kill was minimal but did mound prime horse manure at the base and tied the canes together for winter protection.
Our Michigan winters have been long and hard for the past 2 years, and this plant has out-done all my other English roses except for St. Swithin!
