Descriptive Features: An All-America Rose Selections winner named in honor of the beloved chef, celebrated for its rich, buttery-gold color and irresistible licorice-candy fragrance. Forms a compact, bushy, well-rounded floribunda shrub with glossy, disease-resistant dark green foliage. Clusters of fully double, ruffled, deep golden-yellow blooms open continuously from late spring through fall, aging gracefully without fading or browning. A prolific, self-cleaning rebloomer that produces flowers in flushes with minimal deadheading required. Bred for outstanding disease resistance, standing up well to black spot and powdery mildew even without a spray program. Its compact size makes it especially versatile for smaller gardens, foundation plantings, or container use, in addition to borders, rose beds, and cutting gardens. Performs best in full sun with rich, well-drained soil and regular watering; benefits from a layer of mulch and winter protection in the colder end of its range. A reliable, fragrant, low-maintenance choice that has become one of the most popular modern roses for home gardeners.
