Dianela, I dont have Golden Opportunity but look at the parentage and the breeders, how could you go wrong? The color is amazing!

Kristine those are details I noticed that made this rose impossible to pass up. I will report back this year on how it does, I am so excited to try it.

Ohhh and they say it is fragrant to boot 😄

Dianela I am so excited to learn what you think of the fragrance-such an important trait to me

Its in my list for coming season as well.

I am very happy to see that you are all considering Golden Opportunity, I had her one year I think it is truly outstanding, a very bushy well filled climber that repeats fast and heavy with very high quality blooms. There are two newer Weeks climbers…Golden Opportunity and Lady in Red that I think bloom so much better than any others I have grown, they are super bushy and well branched, and the blooms just come out of everywhere all season long. My plant:

ARS did a video where they captured the mature plant at Weeks’ Pomona trials garden:

The plant was not mentioned by variety, but I sent these screenshots to Tom Carruth and he confirmed it was Golden Opportunity. He said he had labored for a very long time to create a really good yellow climber and was very pleased with the result.

Wow thank you BenT. It your help me find picture of this plant that actually really sold me on getting one. I was highly impressed to see the perfect shiny foliage and large blooms on such a small plant.

The full bush shots are very beautiful and definitely something special on a plant of this color range.

I apologize for all the posts, now that I am using the app for this site I can’t figure out how to edit my comments to add anything. I am looking for a glorious rose for my futures home front door and the contenders so far are.
Bathsheba
Peach Melba
Golden opportunity
Colette
Heavenly ascent

Of those I have Bathsheba, Heavenly Ascent and Colette. Of those three I would have to say Bathsheba. She is just so great at everything-health, fragrance, vigor….

Ben, what an incredibly bloomy rose and that color !! I wish that I had room for a climber.

Daniela, out of your list I have ordered/planning to order:

Peach Melba
Golden opportunity
Colette

You might also consider Polka, also ordered for this saeson.

Ok I lost my comment. Oursteelers thank you. Bathsheba is my be of all time favorite Austin’s. I said I wasn’t going to buy any roses this year as I will have to keeping them in pots. So of course I ended up still ordering several. I made this to visualize their colors together (missing Colette). I am going to test them for a year to see how they do with black spot before adding them to my garden.

I will definitely let you know if any are particularly fragrant

If it is anything like autumn sunset it should look and smell great! Are you adding any deeper colors to the mix in the future? I would ask you to name them but that is quite a few!

In order from left to right
Soumbreuil, heavenly ascent, delta gamma heritage, Big Ben climbing rose, Gruaud Larose, Rosenfazination, Courage, Kosmos, The Pride, Anastasia, Meine rose, Sonnenwelt, Cream veranda, Adam, Tranquility (a gift from my friend Jen “lilyfinch” 😄
Guislaine de Feligonde, Marianne, Belinda’s blush, Belinda’s dream, Bliss, Being me sunshine, Coquette des Blanches, Easy Spirit, Cloud 10, Golden Opportunity, Snow Pavement, Franziska Kruger, Mel’s Heritage.

Sorry I hope I got them all correct and the typos aren’t to terrible.

I added several hot colors last year like Vulcano and Meteor. I also got several Flamenco rosita and 3 Bordeaux cityscapes. Vulcano specially was the highlight of perfection in my garden.

I don’t understand why I can’t edit my comments to correct my misspellings

Dianela, were you surprised by Delta Gamma Heritage? I only got it because ARE was raising their prices so I wanted to get it just in case I would want it later.

I can’t really explain why but it really made an impression on me. Maybe because I got Dmitri Hvorostovksy and was kinda repulsed by its fading blooms and DGH’s faded prettily.

The blooms had more….romance than I expected, the fragrance and health was great. Gotta say I don’t remember when I was last surprised this much by a rose.

Dianela, do you have the 3 little dots at the bottom of your post?

Kristine no little dots on the App. I have them on the web browser but then I can’t type on the site. I can type using the app but then no correction or edit options show. Do you use the app? Do you have the dots in the app? I wish things would work a bit smoother.

Oursteelers this will be my first year with Delta Gamma but your words are very welcome. It looks lovely and I am hopping it does great. I am glad it does well for you and I hope it can stand up to the black spot .
