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.

This rose has had some flowers on it since spring to autumn. It is colourfast. I can not understand why it is not more popular.

I love this rose. It flowers in flushes from spring to autumn. The flowers are abundant. I grow it as a standard (tree) rose. The flower form is best from bud to half open. The golden yellow fades when the flowers are aging. When the bush is in late bud it reminds me of a tree of candles . At this stage the outer petals have an orange flush. It does suffer some black spot.

I understand this rose is a sport of Liverpool Echo.
