This is a good name for a bright, golden yellow floribunda, with abundant clusters of flowers on bushy growth all summer. It's disease-resistant and stands up well to spells of bad weather. Can be used in long, snaking rows across a square border with more 'Golden Smiles', besides rows of other floribundas in different colours to give a rippling, wavy effect. When pruning in February, when it's necessary to cut back from one-half to three-quarters of the stems, get rid of any feeble or dead growth.
