    Gulf Coast: I’m mostly a mid-twentieth century hybrid tea person, but I have been charmed by this rose. I ordered it from High Country Roses two years ago, based on nothing more than a photo and the name. The High Country Golden Unicorn plants that year developed more slowly than usual and they offered to let me cancel, but I said go ahead and ship, so they did. The plant was eensy teensy when it arrived in May 2018, a healthy little spring barely six inches tall. I put it in a small pot and waited. In May 2019, it was still eensy teensy. By July 2019, it didn’t seem to have grown at all I was about ready to give up on it, but it suddenly decided to grow like the rose bush version of The Little Engine That Could. I moved it to a bigger pot and it is now a fine small plant about 18 inches high covered with lots of blooms. The blooms shade from deep gold to deep apricot then fade to gentle peach, and the petals curl under to create a pointy look, which partly explains the name Golden Unicorn. (The breeder, Griffin Buck, was a WWII vet and the nickname of his unit was Golden Unicorn, so it’s named partly due to its distinctive looks and partly in honor of his unit.) The pointy-curled petals and the bright gold-apricot coloring, especially with different shades of gold, apricot and peach on the bush at the same time because different flowers are in different stages of progress, make this a cute little rose, very healthy in our Gulf Coast heat. I’m quite delighted with it! Hooray for Griffin Buck, hooray for the WWII veterans, hooray for High Country roses!
