Debra, was your Julia Child grafted or own root? I have an own root plant that I found at a local grocery (grown by a local greenhouse). It was a healthy plant, in a 2 gallon pot. She's still about the same size over a year later, but looks healthy otherwise. I'm wondering if a grafted plant would fare better. As for other yellow floribunda options, I'm excited to see what Golden Fairytale does- the pics on line are wonderful, and I saw good reports on it's growth. It has that old rose form similar to J.C.
Also looking at Solero Vigorosa, which looks nice, but is rather short (1.5-2'). Was looking into Freisia, thinking it was new to me, but saw in our database it is Sunsprite, that I've known about for a long time, but haven't tried.
