Mellow Yellow does a pretty good job of lightening only slightly as it ages…the older blooms still looks quite harmonious with the new buds.

I agree St Patrick is especially long lasting

Sparkle & Shine has been good about keeping its color here.

South Africa is a golden shade of color in the yellow, family and holds its color until dead heading time.

There is a new yellow HT called Amy. VERY limited release. It will probably be another few years before it will be available. Soft yellow blooms with petals that are made out of leather. Good vigor, beautiful foliage. This will eventually be the yellow HT everyone wants.

In April, I took a series of pics each day of Doris Day just to capture her progression. Here she is on what I called "day 4", but was probably more like day 6.

Bryan, great pics of St. Patrick!

Is Doris Day a hybrid tea?

Bryan, I don’t have DD, but I believe she’s a HT from the 1950s.

Doris Day is a floribunda from 2015 from Weeks. A sister plant of Magpie's Sparkle and Shine above.

LOL Sylvia, you're thinking of the real Doris Day :-D

My Henry Fonda is the same color from bud to petal fall.
