Gold Medal Rose

Yellow Grandiflora Roses

The Gold Medal Rose is one of the most beautiful of the yellow Grandiflora roses. Medium to long oval buds become perfectly formed golden blooms that are edged with a reddish orange color. Flowers are great for cutting, and have a long vase life. This Grandiflora performs best in moderate climates.

The tall bush is very vigorous, and a must for those who love yellow roses. A true "Gold Medal" winner!

As you can see from the yellow rose pictures, this is an absolutely gorgeous rose. It does not however do as well in hot temperatures! The yellow flowers fade to cream in extreme heat. Flowers have a deeper color in the Spring, and again in the Fall. Moderate climates produce blooms with deeper colors.

The intense yellow blooms have burnt orange to red edges. The bush is very disease resistant, making it a great addition to the garden. The dense, dark green foliage really set off the sunny blooms. This rose is nice for the back of the garden. The exhibition form flowers do well in the vase too. This bush blooms on new wood, so prune early for the most flowers.
