I'm trying to plant a yellow rose in memory of my sister in law. I
planted a Buck shrub rose, Golden Unicorn. It is more of a peach
colour than yellow. I looked on the helpmefind website and many of
those roses that they listed as yellow looked more pink or peach to me.

I would prefer an easy to care for rose, but if a hybrid tea is the
only thing that will give me a true yellow colour so be it. Can anyone
make some suggestions?
Thanks.

I grow Midas Touch and it is as beautiful, deep, and rich a yellow as you
can hope for. No pink, no peach, and no touches of other color, just solid
deep yellow. The plant is totally disease free and never gets the least bit
of blackspot or mildew, and it blooms, and blooms, and blooms. The only
catch for you might be-- my Ortho rose book says they sometimes open too
fast in hot climates. I don't have that problem in Seattle cuz our summers
are usually mid 70's to low 80's. But I think it's got the color you might
be looking for. (On the HelpMeFind photo page, the very first photo and the
very last one are the best examples of what my plant looks like in Seattle--
not the paler examples). Hope that helps with another suggestion.
