Overview
Golden Celebration is an English rose from David C. H. Austin, introduced in 1992 and patented in 1994 as PP8688 ('Ausgold'). The yellow flowers are very full, holding about 55 to 75 petals, and the fragrance is strong and sweet. It descends from 'Charles Austin' and 'Abraham Darby'. The patent rates its resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and downy mildew as average, so a sunny, airy spot and regular checks help. A rose for growers who want heavy, scented yellow blooms.
