2011 is my first season with this one. I rate it highly for color, bloom form, and bloom frequency. I would rate it good for disease resistance. Up until August there were no disease issues but once we hit August it almost completely defoliated. It's bouncing back fine at this point. The pollen seems to be fertile as I have a high success rate using it as a pollen parent.
I bought this rose in Spring of 2008 from our local nursery. It has been my experience also that it was a good bloomer. Very pretty, bright yellow blooms of which there always seems to be a few on the plant. I have it growing in a half barrel on our back porch.
