Dorola MACshana. 'Benson & Hedges Special'. Miniature. Sam McGredy had already named a Large-flowered Rose 'Benson & Hedges Gold' and, to save confusion between the two, the IRA registered the Miniature as 'Dorola'. Under either of its names, this is one of the best yellow Miniatures. Foliage is dark and glossy. It was introduced in 1982.

Final Analysis 1991-92
Dorola (MACshana, 'Benson & Hedges Special'). McGredy 1982. 'Minuetta' x 'Mabella'; clear yellow; 45 reports on 170 bushes; 1-6 years; 70cms; 7.2 rating. Obviously this rose has been widely grown and liked, most reporters rate it between 7 and 8, a few decry because of the size of flower, bush and foliage. It is very healthy everywhere and a good clear yellow suitable for picking which does not fade. Really a large 'patio' and on the whole very popular.
