Bred by Paul Barden (United States, 2007).

Hybrid Kordesii.  

Butter-yellow, lemon-yellow center.  None to mild fragrance.  Average diameter 2.5".  Medium, semi-double (9-16 petals), in small clusters bloom form.  Moderate, occasional repeat later in the season.  

Medium, semi-glossy, dark green foliage.  

Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant.  

This is one of a selection of seedlings from this cross. The idea here was to introduce yellow into the Kordesii line of breeding. This clone is highly fertile and will be used to further the line.

As this is a cross of a triploid X a tetraploid, this seedling may be either triploid or tetraploid; it has not been tested to make a determination. This selection has suffered from none of the "big three" fungal diseases and so it may be of use in developing healthy yellows for cold climates.

This plant is now extinct. (Killed in the 2014 "polar vortex")
