More information
This winter-hardy floribunda remains popular in the UK and northern Europe. It blooms early and reblooms quickly. The fragrance is intense and fruity. A drawback is color fade: flowers open a bright yellow, then quickly become lemon and cream. This is especially evident in hot, sunny weather, and the cultivar is not commonly grown outside these regions. The flowers are semi-double, with crimson stamens. They appear in medium-sized clusters on a bush with thick, stiff, prickly shoots. The blooms are resistant to rain. The foliage is large, dark green, and resistant to disease. There is a climbing sport, Climbing Arthur Bell.
20-petalled flowers are yellow to creamy yellow and very fragrant. It forms a tall bush with thick, leathery foliage; the flowers are large and weather-resistant. Resistance to black spot and powdery mildew is good. Flowering starts early and lasts until autumn. A disadvantage of this variety is that the golden flowers become pale cream over time.
