Thought I'd add my journal comments here, as well:

Re: Gold Blush
Vigorous growth and Bloom. Mine exhibits none of the blush or gold tones seen in Mr. Starnes photos. Instead, it is white tinged with pink. Only the buds are golden apricot. Perhaps this will improve with age. Heavy black spot while in a pot. Black spot completely cleared once planted in full sun 2019. Heavy bloom. Color still pale with pinkish bloom.Fall flush 2019 exhibited deep gold coloration. Since planting in the ground it has had numerous periods of small bloom with heavier production in the Fall. That could be its habit or just due to getting its roots on! We shall see next year. In any case I think it will give much more that just the Spring bloom mentioned under its description. Exuberant Spring growth 2020. 6/4: Huge growth, but every can is blind growth. Not a single hint of a bud. No midge either.
Edit: turns out they weren't blind shoots , just late to develop due probably to its age and heritage. Eventually became a huge thorny beast that blooms with flushes and in between. Turns out Mr. Starnes had only grown this under glass so not a real indication of its potential in my mind. Not a typical climber, but tending towards a large, tall bush much like Darlows Enigma in my garden. Wafting scent to top it off
It does exhibit some winter kill and older cane death, so needs that taken out in a harsh winter.

In a discussion on The Old Rose Forum (Houzz) breeder John Starnes says he bred this rose in Denver, Colorado, adding that "Due to Rosa moschata being the seed parent, the scent is deliciously cinnamon." It is said to be vigorous as a bush or climber and also quite thorny.

I notice that some of this info is already on the rose's description page -- oops!

But thorny and vigorous wasn’t. The more information we can have about a rose, the more growers will be able to know what the rose is, or was, like. So thank you again mballen.
