Landscape Notes: A popular yellow climbing rose with bright yellow-gold flowers that fade to a creamy white and have a sweet honey-like fragrance. This repeat bloomer is sure to brighten any fence or trellis. Prompt removal of faded flowers encourages prolific bloom and extends blooming season.
Exposure/Culture: Prefers moist, slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Roses benefit from the addition of compost, aged manure, or leafmold to the planting soil. To keep the flowers coming, feed your roses with a fertilizer blended especially for roses. This can be done after each bloom cycle. Spread a layer of composted manure, compost, or shredded leaves over the base of the plant in late fall after the ground freezes. Covering these mounds and the lower parts of the bushes with evergreen boughs will add protection. Pull the mounding material away from the stem as new growth emerges in spring. Prune injured branches over when new buds emerge in spring.
Other Notes: One of the most profuse blooming of all yellow climbers. Semi-double 4" blooms of golden-yellow with ruffled petals on an upright continual blooming nearly thorn-less plant that makes a good pillar.
