    Golden Zest is a Jackson & Perkins rose from before the company was sold. I don't know whether J&P carries Golden Zest for sale anymore. If not, that is a shame because this is a fabulous rose. Much neater growth habit and less sprawly than the Austin Rose Golden Celebration. I had a Golden Celebration and replaced it with Golden Zest.
