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

If you can locate the yellow 'Freedom', try it out. It has the holding power of St Patrick, the vigor of most floribundas, and the color of Midas Touch.

Henry Fonda does really well as a yellow. It has more of butter yellow color. If you want a yellow I would suggest, Henry Fonda.

It completely defoliates here, but I heard it does super well in the South.

I am in Ukiah, CA and it's doing great, but I am spraying it, and its not planted in the ground yet even. It has not much fungal at all, compared to my top fungal collecting roses which are Love and Peace, Coffee bean, and Double Delight. It blooms as much as St. Patricks Day also. I will post some photos of it. Photo Id: 281573 take a look, no fungal issue at all, all leaves healthy.

Often seen Henry Fonda in local nursery, I'm going to get one. I'm in San Francisco Bay Area

I don't think it will make it in san francisco, I used to live there. It may do well in the Mission or the castro or in san mateo. Ukiah has sacramento like weather, not bay area like weather. I mean it will make it, but if you dont spray it all the leaves will fall off every year and even if you did spray it, most of the leaves will be in bad shape if you say in the sunset district or daly city.

I believe ya. Roses have varying types of resistances. Oregon and Washington are very heavy in 2 races (+/-) of black spot, and our pressure is greater than most of the US. I can only report for our region.
Spraying is becoming very, very rare here. Most people in the PNW are "green-hearted", so to speak. Even our symbol has a green heart in it :D

What a great rose this has been in Houston. I would say the only drawback so far is the fact that the blooms last so long on the bush (they last just as long in a vase, which is good) that you almost have to cut them off to encourage rebloom and growth. Otherwise, the blooms just stay on the bush for what seems like an eternity. Other roses will bud, bloom, and the petals fall off long before a bud on St. Patrick is even 1/3 open. I also think St. Patrick has gorgeous foliage that really compliments the coloring of the rose. As long as you don't have to have fragrance, St. Patrick is an absolutely excellent rose.

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.

You got it right. St. Patrick seems to love a hot, dry climate. The blooms last a very long time on the bush, as in the vase, so if you don't cut them that will reduce the bloom frequency. But, who cares, since the bush usually has beautiful blooms.

St. Patrick is listed as hearty to Zone 7. I've grown two of them for ten winters with no protection and they have survived a number of winters with temperatures as cold as -5 F.
