Plant Description
Flowers: Large, 5-inch double blooms with approximately 25–30 petals. They often appear solitary on long stems, making them excellent for cut floral arrangements.
Color Transition: Buds open to reveal bright golden-yellow petals with thin red edges. As the flowers age, the red expands and deepens into orange, pink, or coral-red.
Foliage: The plant features matte, dark green leaves that provide a lush backdrop for the bright flowers.
Growth Habit: It has a bushy, upright, and well-branched form, growing at a fast rate with a potential lifespan of up to 30 years under ideal conditions.

Essential Care Guidelines
Sunlight: Requires full sun (at least 6–8 hours daily) for optimal bloom quality and disease resistance. In extremely hot climates, afternoon shade can help prevent leaf scorch.
Watering: Provide deep, infrequent watering (about 1–2 inches per week) to the base of the plant. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues like black spot.
Soil & Planting: Prefers rich, well-draining, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8. When planting, ensure the graft union (the bulge at the base) is at soil level in warm climates or 1–2 inches below in cold regions.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced rose fertilizer (such as a 10-10-10 or 5-10-5 ratio) every 4–6 weeks during the growing season. Stop fertilizing 6–8 weeks before the first expected frost to avoid damaging tender new growth.

Maintenance and Protection
Pruning: Best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, diseased, or crossing canes and cut back healthy canes by about one-third to encourage vigorous new stems. Regular deadheading of spent blooms will promote continuous flowering.
Winter Care: In cold zones, mound 6–8 inches of soil or mulch around the base of the plant to protect the graft union. If grown in containers, move the plant to a sheltered area like an unheated garage.
Pest & Disease Management: While generally hardy, it can be susceptible to mildew and black spot. Ensure good air circulation through proper spacing and pruning to mitigate these risks. Common pests include aphids and spider mites, which can be managed with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
