'Five Yuan' makes me think of a deeper pink "Natchitoches Noisette":

I'm glad you have this one Jeri... so I can see your photos of it! ;-) I was thinking of getting it a few months ago, but decided against it for some reason.

Do the stamens have some red in them, or is that just my eyes playing tricks on me?

I have quite a few spots in my yard where this one would look great as a little climber. I will be curious to see how it grows in your yard. Thank you so much for sharing!

What a sweet rose,,.. I especially like this photo of it, in full bloom... from a garden in Italy I think...

The picture of it in its pink state is enchanting, Jeri, but then I realized it turned red. Alas, I think I'm forever doomed to not caring for the red chinas although I imagine they would be perfect for my conditions.

I really like the effect too Jeri. I will definitely be watching how this rose does for you!

I got a baby plant of Five Yuan this year. Can't wait for it to grow up!

Ingrid -- So you would also reject 'Archduke Charles'?

I find that with these phototropic roses, you don't get the effect of a red rose, but rather one of a "bush full of butterflies" with all of the color combinations displayed at once.

'Five Yuan' looks like a nice one for a warm climate. How big does it get? Does it have any fragrance?
