'Fool's Gold' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

An upright to spreading rose plant of the hybrid miniature class, having a
more-than-average resistance to mildew and rust, and producing an
abundance of large, well-formed buds and flowers of a bicolor orange
coloration, the darker color being carried on the outside surface of the
petals, rather than on the inside surface as is usual among bicolor roses.
Bloom production is nearly continuous throughout the growing season. The
plant bears attractive, semi-glossy foliage which is relatively large for
the class and bears very few prickles on its canes and stems.
