Rosa ‘Gold Medal’ in 3 Gallon Pot

Description

‘Gold Medal’ is a Grandiflora rose that stands out with its golden-yellow blooms, often highlighted by copper tones that mature to a soft cream. Each flower is large, averaging about 4.5 inches in diameter, and features a full, high-centered form with 30 to 40 petals. The blooms emit a mild, fruity fragrance and appear in flushes throughout the growing season. The plant grows in an upright, bushy habit, reaching heights of 4 to 6 feet and spreading approximately 3 feet wide. Its dark green, semi-glossy foliage provides a striking contrast to the vibrant flowers. ‘Gold Medal’ thrives in full sun and benefits from regular watering until established. This rose is known for its vigor and disease resistance, performing well in various climates, including warmer regions. It was bred by Jack E. Christensen and introduced in 1982.
