This rose is one of my favorites because of its golden-yellow blooms with a rose-pink edge. I’ve learned the reddish blush is a trait of the rose in warmer conditions, which Arizona easily provides for its gardeners. There is never a lack of flowers on the plant, and it is one of the most disease-resistant plants I own. Even when I’m dealing with problems nearby, Strike It Rich just keeps humming along.
I especially like the ever-changing colors of the flowers the plant produces. I see the golden petals turn softer yellow and then pink as they mature. It’s an enjoyable plant to photograph because it provides me with new opportunities each day. Strike It Rich is known for producing an abundance of large 4-inch blooms that grace the plant all season.
