I bought this just before Nor'East stopped selling retail and am very glad I did. Last year it grew and grew in it's pot and bloomed almost continually. It's early April and I already have a huge plant with buds all over. I have one bloom that is easily 2 1/2" across and absolutely beautiful. I'm in Dallas TX and even the heat of last summer didn't slow this beauty down much at all!

First Impression was registered as a Floribunda. You have that on your reference page. Please change class from Mini-flora to Floribunda.

I just got this plant from Nor'East, so I thought I would give my "first impression" of the plant.
New plant so I cannot attest to its longevity, bloom habit, or disease resistance.
The flowers are slow to open, then when hitting the half-way point open quickly to a very full bright yellow "carnation" type flower. Very fragrant as compared to my other mini-floras. (clarification: you still need to be within a foot or two of the plant)
Bloom size is 2" on the initial flowering, however I believe it will drop to 1.5 " when multiple buds are on the plant.
My initial thought when I saw the first fully opened bloom was "Wow, they named this one correctly". I am not much into yellow roses, but this one is a show stopper.
Bought from Nor'East roses, but since they are going to stop selling to the public, I am not sure of where else (online) it will be available.
If anyone knows of new availability from other vendors, please let me know. I would like to get several more next season.

If you visit http://www.rosehybridizers.org/forum/message.php?topid=19336&rc=5&ui=2165914781, you will see the parentage of Jim's rose. And also, Jim's last name is "Sproul" and not "Sprout" as listed here... I've already posted something about this at rosehybridizers to let Jim know, but this maybe worthwhile to post it here...
