| Everyone may have their own favorites, and I'm probably forgetting some, but one of the best is St. Patrick. What do others think? |

| I would second the suggestion of St. Patrick and would also add the rose Elina. Both are realy spectacular in my garden. |

| I agree, St. Patty is the gold standard for show HT's. I'm trying a new florist yellow HT called 'Moonlight' this year.... For Mini's - 'Behold' and a new one in the last couple years 'Erin Alonso'(a sport of Bees Knees) has excellent form. |

| Since you did not qualify your question, I will give some observations on yellow roses that I have seen show well in several classes. In addition to St. Patrick and Elina, other yellow hybrid teas that I have seen show well in various places include Irish Gold, Helmut Schmidt, Berolina/Selfridges, and the grandiflora Gold Medal. Another on I have in my yard is Skyline. It is a nice yellow HT that I got from Hortico, but it doesn't bloom a whole lot. I think it is the location that is the problem. Rise 'n Shine, a mini, shows reasonably well. Sunsprite, a floribunda, shows well as a spray. Graham Thomas shows well in the shrub category. I just threw these in for thought. |

| I would like to nominate 'Mellow Yellow'. While not an exibitor's rose, its a great garden rose that is vigorous and doesn't fade. |

| According to the ARS - the top yellow exhibition winners are: St Patrick
Gold Medal
Sun Flare
Sunsprite
Behold Miniature
Olympic Gold miniature |

| I would have to say "Golden Celebration" is the best yellow rose! |

| If you are interested in exhibition roses in classes beyond hybrid teas, here are some suggestions for the Midwest. Floribundas - Eureka, Julia Child, Golden Holstein
Miniatures - Ty, Breath of Spring, Erin Alonso
Mini-Floras - Butter Cream, Autumn Splendor (red border), My Sunshine (single)
Shrubs - Graham Thomas, Golden Wings |

| One of my favorites is Elegant Beauty. |

| Phil since when did My Sunshine become a mini flora? And is not Breath Of Spring a mini flora? I got a new mini flora this year called Yellow Bird, a Whit Wells rose. |
RE: Best yellow rose?

| Dan, you are right of course that My Sunshine is a mini. I don't know where my mind was at that moment. However, Breath of Spring is also classed as a mini. |
RE: Best yellow rose?

| Phil, as big as that rose is it should be! |

| You'll have to talk to Dennis Bridges if you want Breath of Spring changed from mini to Mini-Flora. Only the hybridizer can make such a change. I've been trying to convince Vernon Rickard that Nancy Jean should be a Mini-Flora for a long time, but he won't make the change and he is the only one who can do so as long as he is alive. |
