The Julia Child rose was chosen by the famous chef before her passing to bear her name. She loved the buttery yellow colour and the sweet licorice-spice scent.
I have planted several varieties of roses at York Downs but none have come close to the quality of this rose. It is a beautifully compact shrub with dark green glossy leaves and beautiful roses. This has been in bloom for many months now and is showing no signs of fading! The photos above were taken on September 22, 2010. If you find it in the garden centres next spring, I highly recommend finding a spot for it in your sunny garden. You won't be disappointed.
