South Africa - Grandiflora Rose
(Kordes - 2001)
This deep yellow grandiflora rose has 4" blooms, is supposed to grow to 5', and is a vigorous grower. It is very healthy until the thrips attack; they seem to love it. My plant is own root, received from Roses Unlimited in 2014. The natural shape of this plant is nice, veering toward bushy, with a nice proportion of mid-green glossy leaves to blooms. South Africa is very heat tolerant. If you like golden yellow roses, South Africa is a must have for desert gardens!
