An extremely bright, golden Pernetiana, tis Lady Huntingfield. Big, very double, yellow with bright golden highlights. Moderate fragrance. Flowers stand in small clusters on a moderately tall shrub. 

She can reach 220 cm or 7 feet so she can be used as a pillar or obelisk rose. Zone 6b to 10b
She thrives during hot and dry summers so ideal for those areas affecting by global warming in Europe. 

A glorious Pernetiana with probably Gigantea influences
