Neal, is it this one? Goes by "4ever Goldy", "Forever Goldie", "Forever Goldy".

I hope it does well for you! It make such a nice foundation plant statement!
I am getting ready to plant a second one of my favorite.


I planted it 5 years ago when we moved here and it's over 5 ft tall now and probably 3 ft wide. This shot below was a couple of years ago.

Forever Goldy is what comes up when I do a database search, so I guess that must be it- sure looks like the same plant. That brilliant gold light it provides in the garden is gorgeous! It already seems to glow. Its really fun seeing it begin to take shape

Ok I'll add a database entry for it so you can add photos eventually!

Forgot to say earlier how much I love the color scheme of the multi plant photo above! The echos of gold throughout are gorgeous! It very much embodies everything I envision for my 'sunset garden'. Now you've got me thinking I need to dot a few conifers through the other beds!

I have buds! I can see baby flower buds on Grimm Brothers Fairy Tale, Red Cascade, and Lemon Fizz!

Won't be long now!!

I just received my Hortico order that I talked about in the second post of this thread. It's the end of the season, so most of the roses are skimpy (but not dead, so that's an improvement over my Hortico orders of years ago). I'll take skimpy, however, because they actually delivered all nine of the roses I had ordered and gave me $6 off on every rose but one. Luckily, that rose is Las Vegas, which is the one I really, really wanted. It has four fat canes and three thinner ones.

The main problem with Hortico orders in past years (aside from the dead plants that usually were included) was the website's extremely lengthy list of offerings, most of which were not available at all. As a result, the delivered order always included a long list of the roses that were put on "back-order." It was a silly misnomer because these roses never showed up, even years and years later. Now the Hortico website only lists the roses they actually have, and it's a major step in the right direction.

The freight costs had to be adjusted upward because of UPS rate hikes, and Hortico apologized for the increase. All in all, I came out ahead because the shipping increased by $11.50 ($38.86 instead of $27.36), but the rose prices decreased by $48.00. I now trust Hortico again, but I'll place my order earlier next season.

Today's photos:

Autumn Sunset is 5 years old now


Jacob's Robe with Arabella clematis


Wild Blue Yonder, with lots of yellowed black spot leaves.


Rose (Rosa 'Royal Sunset')


This one the reason I bought it, this is the plant at my in-laws.


'Tradescant' with morning dew on the petals, looks like frost.


First bloom on Vesper


This is my 4 year old Sally Holmes


English rose, Summer Song


'Bouquet Parfait' fully open now


International Herald Tribune


Rose (Rosa 'Sweet Dream') with cute little Geranium 'Bill Wallis' for company.


Mini Rose (Rosa 'Innocence')

That's good to hear Zuzu!

@Calsurf73, Hortico has Aloha Hawaii!

Zuzu and I went to a local nursery today, they had a whole row of the White Sparrieshoop and what looked like a branch that had reverted back to the pink version.
These are cell phone shots.

Wow, not bad for a cell phone!!

Zuzu, I'm so glad that Hortico has improved and your order came in looking pretty good! I really like that they use multiflora root stock.

Thanks, Sue .
I'll go check out Hortico !

Overcast skies and a bit of drizzle, perfect for photos.
Mike, you NEED this Aloha! I can take a photo of just about every bloom and they are so gorgeous!


Autumn Sunset, a couple more shots as it's in full bloom now.


For fun, this was 5 years ago, the black pot on the right side is the new Autumn Sunset just before I planted it. And today.


Jacob's Robe


Cafe, and the bud with a spider and lots of foam from what? Spittle bugs I think?


Another perfect plant and bloom, a Kordes rose, of course. South Africa.


Buff Beauty, a wonderful hybrid musk. It makes long arching branches, I have one long cane draped over a metal arbor and a branch on the opposite side draping through my favorite deep blue salvia.

Here's a shot from last year with that salvia.


Irish Hope with Ninebark (Physocarpus ) 'Coppertina'


My Rusty sport, the colors are opposite of the real Rusty


And the always colorful looking and oh so photogenic Helen Hayes! Loved to find these two together.

Suzanne, amazing plants, photos, garden I love the way the wooden structures have mellowed into that wonderful, silvery colour, they set off your beautiful plants to perfection.

Thanks Mika! I too love how the redwood has aged.

There are two schools of thought here about wood in the garden - some people love the silvery, mellow colour of weathered hardwood while others spend time and money re-varnishing every year... I'm definitely in the soft and silvery camp

Sue, beautiful!
I have been playing with the idea of getting Buff Beauty but your pics of Aloha make me wonder!
From what I have read Buff Beauty has smaller flowers and is more scented. How would you compare the two as far as repeating goes?

PS. Just love the colours on your Rusty sport.

Sharlene: As Sue pointed out to me, make sure you get "Aloha Hawaii".
There's another Aloha with different coloring.

My memory is so bad I have no idea about their repeats to compare the two. @zuzu, any input? I do love both and they are quite different. Buff Beauty, as you said, smaller blooms and it has graceful arching branches, and Aloha is a strong climber.

Another one I love and can highly recommend is Crepuscule, took these shots today. as you can tell, I adore the warmer colors, peace in particular.
