Continuing the discussion from Favorite Yellow Roses:
I just purchased a new introduction for 2024, “Quest for Zest”, a beautiful yellow rose with lighter outer petals. Very lovely fragrance… citrus and fruity. It was introduced by Weeks; parents: Secret and Julia Child. It is labeled as “very disease resistant” (music to my ears!); no mention of hardiness. I couldn’t find it on Weeks’ website… found my info on HelpMeFind.com. Hope its more hardy than Secret, which I lost winter before last.
This plant was a bare root in January 2024. A local nursery pots them up and starts them in their greenhouses, for pick-up end of March. This is what the plant looks like as of April 5! Very strong stems, high-centered form, and lovely full-open blooms. Looks like a good one!
