Adolph Horstmann HT. (Kordes). Rich amber gold edged pink of thirty-eight petals. A somewhat stubby flower, but a good garden rose, with good foliage.

Adolf Horstmann, HT. (Kordes, 1971). Golden yellow with deep copper markings give a delightful colour. It would be better with another row of petals. The petals are slightly waved. In all it is a decorative cuitivar rather than a specimen bloom type. Unusually strong perfume for a yellow rose. The Horstmanns have a tremendous general nursery in Holstein, Germany, near the Kordes establishment.
