Have never understoofd how this one got put in the GR class as for me it never got that tall, whether in Chico, CA or Columbus, OH. That aside, the color is extremely intense and the plant has probably---in my opinion--some of the most attractive foliage of any rose, blindingly glossy and mid-green with a red edge.........definately a "personality" when it appeared mid-60's in the glut of orange/red varieties and it remains highly rated and in my opinion rightfully so because it is rather unique and it is no more or less healthy than its peers. I would just put it out there, though, that in my experiences over many years in two different zones, it doesn't get very tall, its blooms are not very big and there are some notable pannicles.....to me/for me this one has always performed like a Floribunda............

April 2011 ~ OLE can be purchased for $6 at OSH stores in norCAL; it did have a red bloom on the small plant.
