Fortune's Double Yellow
 

It doesn't get any better than this, at least here. The overall
impression is mostly buff and yellow right now, with an interesting
range of buds from yellow to this lovely carmine pink. So if you like
it, here they a

I've been watching this rose with interest for some time. Does it
have the strong fragrance that it is reported to have?

This one does not, tho I'm told there are many different clones of FDY.
The effect of scent is caused by the huge number of blooms, not by the
heavy scent of any one bloom. Are you in a warm party of the country? I
can't remember, sorry.

Helpmefind has the impossibly
accurate dimension of
Height of 8' 2" to 39' 4". Width of 4' 11".

So is yours the 39'4" variety.

I can only watch & salivate, my nose
squashed against the monitor in my
Zone 5 garden.

It's rough, Theo, I know. Mine is a young plant collected by a Heritage
Roses member in Santa Cruz, so it's only sent out 6 foot canes. Wait
till this summer...... I've seen pictures of FDY growing over rooftops
in Texas. The plant as Vintage Gardens is only 12 feet tall, gets no
summer water and is much more beautiful than mine because it's grown in
the shade.

I was pretty surprised to find two different colored buds, buff and
pink. I should go done to look at it again today and see what the cool
temps have done.
