A classic with a modern twist, the “Gold Medal” Rose is a champion of color and fragrance for any garden in zones 7 and 8. You will love its stunning golden-yellow blooms brushed with hints of copper and peach that burst into a light, fruity fragrance. This rose is an upright, bushy shrub, reaching a mature size of 4-6 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide, making it a beautiful and impactful statement piece. It thrives in full sun, needing at least six hours of direct sunlight each day to produce its best flowers. While not completely deer-proof, its vigorous growth helps it bounce back from occasional nibbling, unlike many other roses.

For a happy and healthy rose, plant it in a generous hole twice the size of the root ball, using a 50/50 blend of your native soil and Watters Premium Mulch. This blend provides a well-draining yet moisture-retaining foundation. Before backfilling, sprinkle in Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food at the bottom of the hole and around the root ball. This provides the essential nutrients and beneficial microorganisms roses crave for strong roots and abundant blooms.
