King's Ransom has made a rapid and spectacular advance to popularity in the few years it has been on the market. Its clear unfading yellow stands up well to all weathers and with an abundance of petals and an excellent shape it could well make its appearance on the show bench. The growth is sturdy and bushy and it produces an abundance of blooms of lasting quality. Considering the strong competition in this yellow section, its advance in popularity is all the more meritorious.
