The blooms begin with nice form, but open rapidly and soon have a loose, messy arrangement that I normally don't care for (which many of these photos show).. That said, I still enjoy these blooms, which are abundant and bring attractive color to the garden. The stamens are a gorgeous yellow, just a bit darker than the petals, and I like the combination..
Can anyone comment on the form and the longevity of the blooms of this rose. Some of the pictures show a very blousy, loose form which usually denotes a ragged looking and short lived bloom. Is that the case with this Golden Scepter rose?
Trying to find a stockist of the Golden Sceptor rose in South East Queensland of Australia if anyone can help. My mother in law has been searching for one for ages and can't locate a supplier.
Under the alternate name of Spek's Yellow, it is carried by a few Australian nurseries according to CRL2006, including Trewallyn Nursery, P.O.Box 377 Budanberg 4670 Queensland. (07) 4159 7313
Thanks Jim. We've updated the Trewallyn Nursery listing on HelpMeFind. Good point about this rose the different names for this rose - that's one of HMF's most useful features.
