| How old is "old age"? I getting "lazy", too, but I'm not sure if it's because I am old or not. Look forward to knowing which of these roses is going to meet your need! Miss Mary

| Stepping into 3/4 of a Century in a few months ~ just had a stent installed recently & the new pills are frustrating me!!! Grrrrr!!! I'll be darned if I didn't run my electric push mower as soon as I get it back from being rehab'd!!! I just don't want to deal w/ the demands of Diva Roses anymore!!! J.P.Connell has a great many good features but a bit lighter than the other 2. I wish OSO Easy has a brighter yellow than *Honey Bun*! Well Miss Mary ~ how does your rose garden grow & have you a lovely yellow?!!! |

| Well - I think that at a "3/4 of a century" you are doing great! I usually tend towards yellow blend roses than true yellow roses, so I am no help in this. I googled images of the three roses you listed and Shockwave knocked my socks off.... kinda like a "shockwave"! Good luck in your quest. Miss Mary |

| Hello again Miss Mary ~ I bet you googled the same site I went to be memerized by *Shock Wave* ~ am leaning to her for choice! It may help to show the site I'm considering for 3 yellow rose bushes ~ also welcoming other ideas. Along the fence have planted 3 Hydrangea paniculatas (I've rooted) to serve as fence cover-ups ~ they grow & fill up pretty quickly ~ should enjoy before they haul me away!!! LOL TIA for other ideas!!! |

| Haven't posted pix in a while ~ DK why the rest of the pix in album won't pop up as they did in the past. Try clicking to the title My New Album on the rt hand side & click on each frame individually to see the bit of improvement I've done since March ~ if interested! Thanks for viewing!!! |

| An update on my final choice/search & finally planting 2-3gal pots found by a kindly nurseryman!!! After reading thru the specs on each of the yellow roses (adding Forty Heroes & Yellow Brick Road) I zeroed in on the Yellow Sub & Forty Heroes ~ & asked our local/reputable nurseries/landscapers to help me search. Even Bailey Nurseries reported *sold-out* on both! On 6/19 I got a call ~ found 2 Yellow Submarines will pick up personally if I'll settle for 2 ~ a bit pricey but I went for them. So excited, got them planted the very next day! (1 had a bloom) & several ready buds on both!!! I decided to forego on the 3rd as I dug up a 7y/o Lemon Fluff (or L-Drop?) Mini rose sulking since last year from luck of sun, under 2 KO roses & planted in the 3rd prep'd hole (fingers crossed she survives the move)!!! Several buds unfurled but JB's found them too delicious already grrrrr!!! |

| It certainly isn't JP Connell....really bad here. If you were sticking with the Bailey's I'd have suggested "High Voltage". |
