Notes:

• “‘Golden Celebration’ is named for its glorious color. Its name makes it the perfect rose for commemorating Golden Weddings, 50th Anniversaries or any other celebration or important event.
  
  
• One of the largest-flowered English roses, it bears rich yellow blooms in the form of giant cups. The blooms have a strong tea fragrance, developing wonderfully combined notes of Sauternes wine and strawberry. It forms a rounded shrub, with ample foliage – the flowers held beautifully poised on long, arching branches.” --- “Golden Celebration” at www.davidaustinroses.com
