Introduced by Christensen in 1982, 'Gold Medal' is a superb grandiflora that lives up to its name with large, high-centered, deep golden-yellow blooms. The flowers are borne in small clusters on long, straight stems, making them excellent for cutting. They possess a moderate, fruity fragrance. The plant is upright and vigorous, reaching 4–5 feet, with large, glossy, dark green foliage that shows good disease resistance. Its continuous flowering and stunning color make it a standout in the garden and a frequent winner at rose shows.
