Julia Child rose, unlike its namesake, is supposed to be of diminutive stature. However, of the three I planted in 2008, the one in the favorable location is already approaching four feet tall. It is full of delicious blooms that have a rich, butter-yellow color and last well on the bush. With such new plants, it is a bit soon to draw much in the way of conclusions, but based on this first year performance, I am expecting this rose to cook up greatness in my garden.
