| I'm not sure why you would compare the two. One's yellow, the other is not. Brandy is perhaps one of the finest apricot roses avaiable. I think Marilyn Monroe has taken that place lately in exhibition circles, but Brandy still holds it own. While Marilyn leans toward a very light apricot, Brandy starts out a very strong light-orange and fades beautifully to a medium apricot. When fully open, Brandy can be one of the largest blooms out there. |

| I have Brandy and it is one of my favorites. It has a huge bloom, just measured one at 7" across. The color stands out and I can see it from a great distance away. I love the apricot color. It also has a sweet, tea fragrance. I just looked Summer Sunshine up at HMF. It seems to be an OK rose if you are looking for a yellow rose. So it comes down to which do you want, a yellow or an apricot colored rose. |

| Without knowing your location, I couldn't even begin to answer your question. I will say tho that, from your other posts, you appear to be located in a climate with some blackspot pressure. If that is so, 'Brandy,' a rose with a significant Pernetiana background, might not be an optimal choice for you. Jeri |
