All around excellent rose! Large high quality heavily substanced blooms produced generously on vigorous, well branched, bushy plant. Repeat is excellent, blooms retain good size, petal count in heat. Strong citrus scent is consistent and persistent. Both parents Memorial Day and Mellow Yellow have done great for me, nice to see the progeny has both of their good qualities. Chantilly Cream is one of the very best HTs I’ve ever grown, everything I want out of a rose variety.

I got both Chantilly Cream and it's sister plant, Larger Than Life, this year. Chantilly Cream was way less "creamy" and way more yellow than I was expecting. I was expecting something maybe slightly more yellow than Shirley's Bouquet, but more often than not it was very yellow. That said, it has been a good rose. I prefer it's sibling more though. CC does have an interesting shape about it.

I enjoyed reading your comparison, drossb1986. I agree Larger than Life is a really ‘wow’ rose, it’s not just the size but overall heft of the bloom that is so opulent, and the plant is equally stout to match the bloom. My local nursery had some really great plants of Chantilly Cream , and I could not resist. I find it quite special too… a slow opening, thick substanced, super long lasting rose that also has outstanding fragrance is a very rare find. This is especially noteworthy in a yellow rose, since many of them are especially fast opening and fleeting. Both sisters are ‘must haves’ for me, I am glad Weeks introduced them both despite making available very few other real HTs in recent years. The form of Chantilly Cream reminds me of the parent Memorial Day, high centers and split/serrated petals.
