This rose makes a large plant (about 3 x 3 feet tall and wide). The soft gold blooms have HT form and come one-to-a-stem on the strong, upright plant. The blooms are complimented by healthy foliage, but they are not as many as I would like for such a big bush.

Rita didn't do much the first year (2005). I should have protected her better the first winter. Slow to get started in 2006, she has begun growing like crazy the last month (late Aug/early Sept). Her rating in our yard has gone way up. I was told to be patient with her and I would be rewarded.
