Just before the wonderful Julia Child left us, she selected this exceptional rose to bear her name. Julia loved the even, butter-gold color of the full petals (over 35 per flower head!) and the spiced licorice candy fragrance. Like we do, Julia adored the old-fashioned blooms, their perfectly rounded habit, their dark green, glossy, leathery leaves, and their superb disease resistance. This Floribunda rose is an AARS award winner--a right and proper honor for a dear friend. Plant in full sun to partial shade in almost any climate, but full sun is best for quicker flowering and higher-quality plants. Plant in well-drained, enriched soil. It's a disease-resistant rose that blooms repeatedly until regular frosts arrive. Zones 4-10. U.S. Patent No. 18,473.
