This is one of Dr. Buck's prettiest roses, producing blooms that are golden yellow with a red edge in full sun or pale yellow with a pink edge in dappled shade. I've bought the rose twice, from two different own-root nurseries. The first died quickly, after only a few months. The second is still alive, but it's only about 8 inches tall after 10 years in a good flower bed where every other plant is doing well. The shrub is supposed to be 3-5 feet tall, but I think that description might date back to the days when all Buck roses were grafted. If I ever find it grafted, I certainly will buy it.
