Flower Portrait: Rosa Graham Thomas

Bears medium-sized, cupped blooms of an unusually rich, pure yellow. There is a light Tea fragrance, with a cool violet character. It forms a bushy, upright and vigorous shrub, with attractive, smooth green foliage. David Austin, 1983.

As the flower ages it fades to a pale lemon yellow then almost white.

        Tanking down here! Lunch date cancelled but it’s the first since May and we have company at the weekend so the timing’s right. 😊☔💕

      It is a lovely shape as well as colour.

    That is definitely a lovely yellow. Like my Nan’s custard!

      Well yes, it does have that custardy colour!

    Wow what a pretty colour, like a huge bright buttercup

    Glorious! Wish I could grow roses as well as this! (Though the day of rain we’ve just had might help mine a bit.)

  8. I love yellow roses. They are a bit temperamental in this area and hard to grow. Yours is gorgeous.

      This has taken a couple of years to settle, but had been lovely this year, still gets blackspot on the foliage. Cornwall is not the best county for roses.
