Mmm...Could be better.
Could be a lot worse though.
Wouldn't plant another, but it is a lovely, and rather unusual, shade of yellowy peachy I don't know what you'd call the color exactly. Very pretty when blooming, nice fragrance, though not spectacular.
Very long bloom time if you deadhead/trim it.
Great cut rose.
I was hoping it would be as wonderful as my Living Easys are..no.
More mildew, blackspot, and a unnatractive shape.
On the other hand, its still a better performer than a lot of roses, and maybe I'm being too picky.

This rose brings back fond memories of my late father. He had several in his yard which performed consistently. The deep green foliage contrasts with the orange-red blooms making them standout. It blooms profusely and appeared to be more trouble-free than the other roses. It is an excellent choice for any garden.
