Golden Wings Modern Shrub; Shepard, 1956Date Planted: Spring 2003 Source: local nursery
I have lusted after this rose for the longest time, so when I spotted it at a local nursery I pounced on it. It's a grafted plant, but I have buried the graft in the hopes that it will develop its own
roots. Vigorous as all get-out and constantly in bloom, this rose is a real winner! Not much fragrance, but the sunny yellow color and golden stamens give it a flirtatious quality that I find quite
beguiling. As the blooms age they fade to white - they really stand out at night. Even after the petals drop, the stamens remain as golden starbursts.
The foliage has remained very clean without spraying. I really, really love this rose! To see more photos, visit the Photo Gallery!
