The description page says Welsh Gold has a strong fragrance, but doesn't say what specific kind of fragrance. Can anyone tell me?
Also, someone commented that Welsh Gold isn't especially prolific in blooms. Can anyone else tell me your experience with how prolific its blooms are (or aren't)? I'd especially like to know how it performs in a hot-dry-summers climate.

This rose is susceptible for Pseudoperonospora sparsa, or false mildew.

You're right Sutekesh, I chose to use the Latin name, for else I only could translate the Dutch "Valse Meeldauw"; to False Mildew", but it of-course is Downy Mildew!
Stems get purplish-blueish spots, that expand and the next year those canes/stems die.
The leafs get at the underside a grayish layer, the leaves rot or dry depending the weather and fall off!

Best MKGarden, You're welcome,
Which job on YouTube?
I'm not aware of doing anything on YouTube. That has to be a mix-up.
Best regards, Jay-Jay.

In the photos here, the coloring of Grand Prize looks similar to Easter Basket. I'm wondering which would be the better one to get (I know -- subjective, and can vary with climate). Has anyone here grown both, and can you compare them for me?

I am 13 years too late, but for future buyers:
Easter Basket is a big rose, that is very easy to grow. Grand Prize is an average floribunda with all of the pros and cons an average floribunda usually has.

Ha ha. . .I like Grand Prize better than Easter Basket. Grand Prize is a spectacular rose when grown on fortuniana rootstock.

Rich Baer told me the same when it was new.

I thought this rose was very striking and beautiful when I saw it at Regan Nursery. Can anyone tell me about its disease resistance?
