Large, double, golden yellow edged rose pink flowers. Slightly fragrant. Large, very dark, leathery, glossy foliage. Very vigorous tall, bushy growth.

The world's most well-known rose, period. Unfortunately, I think I have one of the weaker, 'diluted' plants that does not at all live up t0 the name. Planted in summer 2000, we'll give it a year or two to show its stuff. Finally succumbed to cane canker late 2006.
