Notes:

  • “Sold under the trade name ‘South Africa’ in some countries (USA) and as ‘Golden Beauty’ in others (UK). The cultivar name is ‘KORberbeni’. This rose has been garnering high praise from rosarians for its vigor, floriferousness and disease resistance…said to be more vigorous and to repeat more frequently than most hybrid tea roses. Sold as a floribunda in the UK and Canada, as a hybrid tea in South Africa, and as a grandiflora in the US.”    www.davesgarden.com
 
  • “….rose bred to handle high heat and humidity with grace and style. The large, fully double flowers are mildly fragrant and a stunning shade of amber-yellow that does not fade. The flowers are produced throughout the summer on sturdy stems that are perfect for cutting and arranging. The Sunbelt® Rose series is grown on its own root-stock and can easily survive cold winters as well as hot summers with little damage to the top growth.”    www.plantaddicts.com
