The Rosa ‘Good As Gold’, a dazzling and sophisticated hybrid tea rose, stands out with its large, double, warm golden yellow flowers delicately shaded with amber and sometimes lightly edged with copper. The thick, satiny petals form an elegantly turbinated flower whose luminous coloration subtly evolves with temperature and light. Its moderate, sweet, and fruity fragrance adds a pleasant dimension without being overwhelming. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to harmoniously structure sunny flowerbeds or act as a focal point in a warm-toned bed. Prolific and reblooming, it produces several generous waves of blooms during the summer, offering long, strong stems ideal for cutting. Its dark green, dense, and healthy foliage highlights the intensity of the color while showing good disease tolerance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. The Rosa ‘Good As Gold’ brings warmth, brilliance, and elegance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects
