About this plant
A golden-yellow floribunda rose introduced in the early 1990s by Jack Christensen, it blooms in generous clusters of large, fully double, fragrant flowers from mid‑summer well into autumn. The compact, vigorous habit is complemented by glossy dark green foliage and robust disease resistance, making it an attractive, low‑maintenance feature for beds, borders or large containers.

Planting guide
Plant in fertile, well‑drained soil, enriching with garden compost or well‑rotted manure. For containers, use a quality compost, ensure good drainage and feed monthly during the growing season. Position with enough space to allow airflow. Remove spent blooms to encourage further flowering.
Care tips
Keep the soil consistently moist yet well-drained and feed with a balanced rose fertiliser in spring and midsummer. Deadhead regularly during flowering to encourage repeat blooms. In early spring, remove crossing or weak stems to maintain good air circulation and monitor for pests and diseases like blackspot or aphids, treating as needed.
Winter care
Apply a mulch around the base in late autumn; prune in late winter to remove dead or rubbing canes and maintain shape, once the risk of hard frost has passed.
