From a review by Paul Barden:-

"I'm not a big fan of roses grown for cut flowers, but whenever I get a big flush of bloom on my 'Glowing Amber's, I inevitably cut a dozen to place on my desk, and they are truly living jewels when displayed in a small vase.
This is a very easy rose to grow, and it has excellent vigor when grown in either a greenhouse or in the garden. Disease resistance is also very good, but like all Miniatures it will benefit from fungicides during wet weather in order to keep away Blackspot. I find that the more you feed this rose, the more growth and bloom you will get; it appreciates regular balanced feedings and will reward you with loads of these rich two-toned blooms.
No matter how you wish to use this rose, either for exhibition or just to brighten up a pot on the patio or the front of the border, you can't beat this gem."
