Graham Thomas is a lovely yellow rose but not sure if it comes as a standard.

Freesia.

Freesia, definitely. Not Graham Thomas, it grows huge, almost a climber although not classed as that.

Serendipity is fabulous as a standard, mine is never without a good show of blooms, very disease resistant too! More so than Freesia. Always looks good and always commands comments from passers by.
Graham Thomas would never be grown as a standard! Far too vigorous with very long canes.

I hadn't heard of Serendipity - a disease-tolerant yellow rose sounds wonderful! And that alone would certainly rate it better than Freesia .

That's what I used to think until I saw it being sold as a standard ! Couldn't believe my eyes ! Crazy thing to do.
