Stunned to learn and confirm J&P is only offering this in tree form for 2021. It is a very solid rose and off to a good and enthusiastic start with growers and they basically have pulled the plug.

I ordered ALS late this season, so it's just getting going good. However, I'm already impressed with this rose. Most yellows tend to fade bad in the heat of summer in Houston, but ALS blooms have held their color. It probably helps that it starts a darker yellow than most. The blooms also last a very long time on the plant. It's been healthy, so far, and it's got a very...unique foliage color...very light green. This rose has some personality, and I'm liking it!

So the new J/P intros are by Weeks and introduced through Jackson and Perkins. Per the 2020 Catalog, they are as follows:
Show Your Stripes (JACnewibysbip); Grandiflora; White/Magenta-Red Stripes; Strong citrus; Tom Carruth; 3.5-4" 60-70 petals.
Neptune x {Wild Blue Yonder x [(Purple Heart x Unknown) x Big Purple]}
--------------
Alex's Lemonade Stand (JACpupadoda); Grandiflora; Ochre gold; Moderate fruity tea; Christian Bedard; 3.5-4"; 25-30 petals.
Pumpkin Patch x Doris Day
---------------
Tangerine Flames (JACaltwoamey); Climbing Miniflora; Orange with yellow reverse; Light fruity; Christian Bedard; 2.5-3.5"; 30-40 petals.
[All A Twitter x (Work of Art x Mellow Yellow)]
---------------
Honey Bee Lovely (JAChaneflocba); Groundcover; Orange with yellow eye and reverse; Light fruity; Tom Carruth; 1.5-2"; 8-12 petals.
Happy Chappy x {(Neon Cowboy x Flower Carpet) x (City of San Francisco x Baby Love)}
---------------
Like No Other (JACitreibpuci); Floribunda; Magenta-purple; Strong myrrh and fruity; Christian Bedard; 3-3.5"; 120-140 petals.
I severely resent Weeks for having to write this parentage... when we all know its probably just Wild Blue Yonder x Cinco de Mayo... anyway, here it is:
[{(International Herald Tribune R520-B6) x (Sweet Chariot x Blue Nile)} x (Blueberry Hill x Big Purple)] x Cinco de Mayo
Its plausible that R520-B6 is their internal code for their R. soul hybrid involving Sunsprite, but there is no way to prove it.

Michael, it is probably best to do a separate comment for eaxh rose so we know where the data came from. But thanks anyway. Your help is appreciated.
‘Tangerine Flames’ and ‘Honey Bee Lovely’- can you take a look at the Notes for these roses please.
As for ‘Like No Other’......i haven’t processed these complicated parentages for so long, I eventually gave up and used ‘Wild Blue Yonder’.

I think it looks good, except that Flower Carpet is probably FC Pink, as used in the Happy Trails series.
Sorry that it was all in one place.
