Zu - I like Quo Vadis, but I didn't see ANY yellow on mine. Of course, I've found that, most of the time with Palatine roses,... heck, ANY rose I stick in the ground, never go by the first year's blooms as, with my pathetic attempts of gardening (ie: I ignore my plants) plus my drought/drowning (we've been getting a LOT of rain as of late) are NEVER what they're supposed to look like. 2nd year, yes. 1st? Hardly ever. In fact, I even emailed Rachel one time as my Typhoon Freelander was really blooming odd and I couldn't believe that it was Typhoon. Thought it was someone else so I dug up the tag.. nope, it's Typhoon. My QV is blooming a definite pink.. but what I like about it is the edges of the blooms always seem to be .. frayed? Jagged? I need to find a bloom that's not shattered or melted (I've had some "rose melt" days) so I can take a picture of it.. but to me, they look jagged & weird. I like it. Not as scented as, say, Perfume de Grasse (now THAT is one smelly bloom!) though.
