In roses, if you start with something good (like a 2007 AARS winner), you can sport (mutate) to a different color that’s just as good or sometimes better. This sport of Strike It Rich has all the same great plant qualities (same vigorous bushy plant that flowers like a weed and smells up a storm) of the original parent but just comes in a different color - a clear long-lasting even glowing yellow. A true Grandiflora, the very dark green leaves & red stems set off the many showy clusters of blossoms. Scent-sational for a bouquet & beauty-full in the landscape.
