Comments: This rose looks great in its spring flush, but then blooms pretty sparsely for the rest of the season. My observations seems to be at odds with other descriptions I have read of it. An unfortunate name choice for those in the know......(grin) The flowers don't last long and fade to very light yellow as they age.
