Just in case you may wonder what gets a particular rose the special
designation of "Rose of the Month," it's whichever one I have that has a
great bloom and the picture comes out good. That's real scientific isn't
it? They are all beautiful in their own special way and there are too many
for me to cover in my life time.
If you have a special rose you would like to get info on I'll put it out on
the internet and get the info for you if I don't have personal experience
with it.
Shrub, color classification-light yellow, ARS rating-8.9
I have a preference for bi-color, tri-color, and single roses. It takes a
bright or varied color rose to really jump out at me due to my color
deficiency.
Single roses, in the simplicity of their bloom, are also strikingly
beautiful to me. One of my favorite singles is Golden Wings. In my zone 5
garden it grows 4' plus, and blooms one rose to a stem. Single roses tend
to drop their petals quickly but Golden Wings petals hold longer for me. My
bush grows in my front yard behind a lamp post. I planted it there so it's
upright cascading effect would make a focal point to the entrance to my
yard. It's pale yellow flowers and dark contrasting stamens bring many
remarks from visitors. Most say they were not aware of single roses and
that they could be so beautiful. After the petals drop the stamens remain
and they even look good. I've had it for 4 years and it handles the winters well.
