Gold Medal®NEARLY THORNLESS! This gorgeous Grandiflora takes first place with her golden yellow blossoms with copper shading that gently age to cream. Gold Medals large, 4 blooms feature 30 40 petals each grown in clusters. Her large, semi glossy, dark green foliage stands proudly on nearly thornless stems. Expect Gold Medal to be at her deepest, pure gold color in cooler temperatures, but she is quite hardy and can handle the heat of warmer climates too!
