Dang, I'm good! I was guessing either Amber Queen or Livin' Easy!
This rose, at least at the nurseries, has SUPER bright, shiny foliage.

I like the fact that I'm getting roses introduced with shiny foliage. Another one of mine with shiny foliage is Orchid Romance which is also fragrant!

As well as the code RADprov, does 'Orchid Romance' have a RADnumber?

Now I want to identify the gold grandiflora! Not many yellow GRs from the 80s/90s, too.

The unknown gold grandiflora was given to me as an unlabeled house warming gift. The rose did not overwinter for me. I used the rose in 1992 to make the cross that produced 93-288.5. The year 1992 was the year that I moved into my current home in April. There was a lot going on including selling off inherited rental properties to make my life less complicated. I have a somewhat photographic memory and am very good at identifying roses that I have learned to know. I have never seen the "unknown gold grandiflora" elsewhere either as a a plant or a picture in a catalog.

Hi, Will,
HMF and the patent state the open bloom is 6cm. My memory of it was that it was larger than this. What do you think? I remember it having small buds that expand to a decent size.
