Thank you Michael. Because of the patent's sentence: "The parents differed from ‘Koranul’ in that the seed parent ‘Frisco’ had a rich yellow flower colour: the pollen parent F1 seedling (‘Minigold x ‘Golden Medaillon’) had flowers of a different yellow hue", we have chosen Kordes earlier 'Golden Medallion'. We added a note to the main page.	REPLY

Yeah, its definitely the 80s one, which has a lot of cut flower characteristics as a garden rose. Its actually weird looking in person. The plant architecture is like Gold Medal, but the color is a lighter and brighter tone than St Patrick. Its like if you sliced a lime open. And the form reminds me of Gold Glow. I think its actually a better rose than all 3 mentioned, unless you live where its really hot, then St Patrick probably is.
