Very large, urn-shaped buds open to flowers shaded from yellow to apricot-pink. Very fragrant and double, with over 70 petals. Vigorous, tall rose, reaching 5 to 6 feet with glossy, disease resistant foliage.
Yankee Doodle was a hit in my garden this year. Don’t you love it when an unknown rose turns out to be a big winner? The color of this rose is completely unique, pink and yellow and orange, think scrumptious glowing melon. I wish reviews allowed pix but I’m not sure a camera would capture that glowing lit-from-within quality.
Didn’t get very big this year, I expect more growth next year. Not plagued with mildew this Fall as some of my others were. Not much fragrance, oh well, still very glad I took a chance on this rose, it’s a winner.
