Basking Golden in the Sun - a photo on Flickriver

            My "Gold Medal" hybrid tea rose is always the first to bloom in my rose garden every year.  This year, in spite of bad weather, an excessive amount of rain and more grey and overcast spring days rather than fine, my "Gold Medal" has had the finest showing of blooms looking at all the buds about to burst out in the first flush of blooms.

The "Gold Medal" hybrid tea rose was first bred in 1982 in the United States by Jack Christensen, and later introduced to market by Armstrong Nursery.  Jack is the youngest rose breeder to develop an All-American rose and he is credited with hybridising over eighty different types of roses.  This rose was created by crossing elements from the roses Granada, Garden Party, and Yellow Pages.  The result is a gorgeous yellowish rose that has rich copper accents, that ultimately fades to a soft cream color.

Summer has finally come to Melbourne after a long and grey winter, and one of the wettest springs on record, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours.
