I was looking for other good yellow roses besides St. Patrick. Up to date, no other yellow roses beat St. Patrick in overall performances.

Although the winter of 2011-2012 was atypically mild, my St Patrick had no problems bouncing back in my zone 5b/6a. I did nothing for winter protection, either. We had no snow cover, mild temps, and very high winds most of the winter.

The flower of this rose was lovely and I loved having it in a vase. However it bloomed little and when it rained the flowers rotted. I think it would do well in a hot, dry climate. I ended up replacing it in the garden.

This is a beautiful clear yellow rose with good shape and long, long lasting blooms which is good because it doesn't bloom much for me in Oklahoma City area. I have had it for several years and this has always been the case so I am going to trash prune it!
