Gorgeous !!! I like lots of petals since summer heat reduces petal count. One hot summer near 100 F my Crimson Glory became single petal, and Firefighter became double-petal. Your "Large than Life" rose have cheerful yellow that I like, looks like buttercream frosting. YUM. How's the scent and does it fade to white like Julia Child? Thanks.

That is a beautiful rose with lovely, soft color changes. It's also doing very well for such a young rose. About how large in diameter is the average fully opened bloom? I love the fluffy, many petaled look, and I look forward to seeing more photos of this rose and your continued evaluation of its performance as it matures. Diane

strawchicago z5, I can only detect a light scent on it so far. The color seems to hold better than Julia Child (any roses will hold color better than it)

Diane Brakefield, i haven't measured it but the blooms size seem slightly bigger than the Francis Meilland's blooms.

Thanks, Hoang Ton. I have to defend Julia Child (I have three; two are 16 years old, grafted, and one is five years old and own root). The oldies are still going strong, and after a late March prune are hitting seven feet tall. Here in our hot and dry desert summers, Julia holds her color quite well. She is also the last to shut down in the fall. She is one of my top three roses, in fact. Diane

Diane Brakefield, hehe, i guess she doesn't like my hot and humid climate very much but she sure is pretty in the spring though, in the summer she barely shows any yellow, even for fresh blooms

Oh my heavens!!!! Hoang, your Larger Than Life is exquisite!!! I looooove it!!! I could almost smell lemon as I started at the pictures! I thought it would have a really strong lemon fragrance. What a rose!!

Here's the current Larger Than Life Rose, It would have been much bigger if not for the darn deers nibbled at it. I guess I should be glad they didn't mow it to the ground. I like how the color say saturated throughout the year.
