I love the bloom but it black-spots quite a lot in the South-East region of the US. There's something warm, glowing and mystical about it in the Spring when the heat is not abusing it yet; but when there is limited space, every rose must be fantastic - and GAG is not quite it.

I likes the color of gold but bloom form and size are not very impressed. I thought I mistakenly bought floribunda. Disappointed new addition from weeks. Very loose bloom form and not consider as keeper.

I felt the form and size fine for a garden rose. It definitely delivered consistently for a garden. I took issue with what heat does to the blooms. And so this rose was not for me.

We have had heat of 76 to 80 and it does well for me in the San Francisco Bay area. The blooms just glow and are not sunburned even with limited watering due to drought. Update February 2016: It has lots of blackspot. due to rain.

Thank you for your update on that rose with heavy rain (blackspot problem). Roses with dark-green foliage do well in alkaline clay, ONLY IF there's excellent drainage. I have heavy clay, and the bottom is quite dense with limestone rocks. To handle week-long rain, I have to dig 2.5 feet deep, and at least 2 feet wide, to handle the tremendous volume of rain. My most healthy roses are the ones which I spent at least 1 hour digging per hole, throwing away rocks & dense clay at bottom.
My Firefighter rose was healthy until we got into late fall .. with week-long constant-rain. It died through my zone 5a winter. When I dug that up, deep down to 2.5 feet, I found a big rock (the size of a long watermelon), that was the cause of poor drainage, thus blackspots in prolonged rain.

Ah, what I saw was not sunburn, but general wilt from heat intolerance. Or maybe needing excess water.

re: bs. About Face is highly BS susceptible in my area. I generally avoid its kids.

This rose is new to my garden this year, and the spring bloom was absolutely gorgeous! The color is a bright gold, and the rose's name is fitting. This rose may be one of my new favorites.
