'First Impression' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Has anyone else noticed there plant of First Impression is virtually without prickles? Mine is an own root and has ZERO prickles on it anywhere. Very quick repeat, very healthy and heat resistant, too.

I have one with exactly one large thorn, as wicked as any could be but beyond lonesome; and mine by the way is just as fragrant as Sunsprite, ya'ani (ie) - evanescently to unreliably but occasionally fantastic.

Is the fragrance heat-dependent (more or less fragrant when it is warm/cool), like some other yellow?

Mine has thorns. Not as many as most of my roses, but a decent amount. I bought this rose hoping it would be thorn-free, but it's not :(. It is VERY healthy though, and always blooming! Well worth it ^_^

I too bought it just before Nor'East went out. Actually, thought it was a miniflora and put it with others in a raised bed. No winter damage in zone 6 at all. It's now an enormous fabulously healthy floribunda (without any fungicide). Loaded with brilliant yellow blooms. How do we get a (mail order) nursery to carry it, only Bailey's wholesale is listed. It needs to be more widely sold and grown
