My SFA rose was new last year, but it's performed wonderfully. The foliage has been clean and very attractive. The bush itself reminds me of Belinda's Dream. The flowers are gorgeous - a light lemon. It's blooming now and and is refreshing to look at it - kind of like you feel right after a rain. Smells great, too.

I don't have any experience with SFA, but can recommend it's half sibling, Prairie Harvest, to anyone wanting a beautiful, carefree, frequently blooming, healthy foliaged, sturdy yellow rose that takes the heat and drought. I've grown it for about ten years.

Maybe you need both of them :-)

Wow that Prairie Harvest is a pretty rose!

Thanks y'all!

Lou, does it bloom frequently or just once or twice?

Mine seems to be always blooming - at least a few flowers. The light colored blooms are striking against the dark foliage so they make a statement even when there aren't lots of them.

Thanks, Lou! At least I have until fall to decide between the two and find a plant I can put in the ground! I'm going to baby my Belinda's Dream in a pot until fall, so I won't want to plant the SFA or Prairie Harvest until then or later.

So, would either of you be willing to share cuttings? :) You don't have to, I'm sure I can pay for ONE of my roses, but I wouldn't complain about not having to. Not with how the economy has been treating me lately.

Tx ag, I sent you an email through your page.

Thanks Roselee! As much as I want to "pay my own way", I realize I can't with the resources God gave me...So, I'm more than willing to accept help from my neighbors and (hopefully) friends!

Tx ag 95,

I have GT roses. They can get pretty big (8-10' tall). They put a nice display from late spring to fall (as long as you feed them heavily) but they get brown spot from time to time. I could depart with one of my mature plants if you are willing to dig it out. I live in Kyle. Let me know.
