Quest for Zest Grandiflora Rose

‘Quest For Zest’ is hybridized by Christian Bédard and introduced by Weeks Roses. The pointed buds open to large, spiraled, elegant 30- to 40-petal yellow blooms that have lighter colored outer petals. The bush is medium tall and upright and bears its strongly fragrant citrus and fruity blooms on medium-length stems. The very glossy foliage has very good disease resistance. Note that this rose has two fabulous rose parents, ‘Secret’ and ‘Julia Child.’
