The rose  named "Golden Wedding" comes already gift packaged with champagne from many sites. This shrub is also at Peter Beales' site so you can combine it with your own gift selection and wrap.  This is a very popular rose in Britain however this  and many other golden flowered roses are available.

Personally I think a better golden flowered rose is David Austin's English rose "Golden Celebration" or  "Molineaux" because they are more fragrant.

This site, Roses UK, lets you search by the roses name

You can even search to see if plant cultivars with your parents names are available. Here is a list of roses with Golden in their name
