I am dubious of the ‘Golden Meillandina’ synonym here. Is there evidence that Ralph Moore sold naming rights to Meilland?

I would have thought the same but the 1983, 1984 and 1995 references say otherwise. A Google translation of the 1995 reference : “Meillandina® selection of 5 varieties of extraordinary floribundity, with healthy, shiny green foliage, very resistant to diseases. Continuous flowering from the end of May until frost. Average height: 30/45 cm. Planting distance: 30 cm....
GOLDEN Meillandina ® Rise 'n Shine: Light yellow.”
It was clearly a marketing ploy, on par with Meilland renaming William Radler’s Coral Knock Out as Carefree Celebration. This renaming of roses has now become common practise across the world.

Thank you. I (believe) I have the Meilland ‘Golden Sunblaze tm’ cultivar, but the existence of this one has always created some doubt.

On paper, from others experiences I should like this rose but I don't.
It requires a lot of direct sun to bloom and will instantly bleach to white (apart from the center) in those conditions. I don't smell anything from the plant. The plant gets spotting issues (not to the point of completely defoliating, but a lot of some sort of spotting all over the plant). It does bloom a lot, it is easy to get pollen from, it does set seed well....just almost everything bred from it has the same issues it does, it's often very easy to spot RnS offspring based on foliage alone.

I'm wondering if there is some serious confusion between Ralph Moore's 'Rise 'n' Shine' and the later 'Meicupag' that was introduced by Meilland, which has 'Rise 'n' Shine' in its lineage. Both are marked here with the trade designations GOLDEN SUNBLAZE, and oddly 'Rise 'n' Shine' has the Meilland trade designation GOLDEN MEILLANDINA, but 'Meicupag' does not. I suspect that there is a problem, and that 'Rise 'n' Shine' is mistakenly listed with those two trademarks that rightfully belong with 'Meicupag'. You might just have 'Meicupag' (mild fragrance) and not 'Rise 'n' Shine' (moderate fragrance).

There may have been a mix up but based on location (I'm in Australia) probably not between those two. Meicupag doesn't seem like it came here. I'd be more inclined to one of moores other yellow mini's and someone just connected the dots (a moore mini + yellow) to the wrong conclusion sometime in the ~30 years it was here. It has mini mini foliage (like closer to the rouletti type small foliage just on a bigger plant with more typical mini bloom size, not the tiny ones of rouletti) than the wich based mini's (eg magic carousel)

I moved the pot this year into dappled shade to see if the yellow flowers held out better than direct sun. It's shade tolerant in that it doesn't die back but it also isn't blooming at all despite being the beginning of summer now, Magic Carousel on the other hand is blooming prolifically in the same conditions. Also, still no fragrance.

This rose has put out a large bloom each spring and then loses all of its leafs, then it attempts to repeat and looks like a skeleton with a bloom here or there.

I grow three own-root plants in pots and here, it does much better that way than own-root in the ground.
