  1. What a beautiful rose. I love how it starts out how bright yellow and orange when it is young. It kind of reminds me of the 'Rio Samba' rose.

  2. How big does this rose get? Does it have thorns? I have such a rose, and nobody has been able to identify it, not even the rose specialists at Texas A&M University. Mine will end with pink and white stripes.

    I love it!

    Hi Janie , it's not very big, hmm about 7 to 8 cm across the middle and it does have thorns.

    Hi Rebecca I bought it from a South African Rose shop called Ludwigs , they produce their own named roses .. very nice
