More information
Chinatown is a strongly branched shrub that bears clustered flowers. Blooming occurs in large numbers until late autumn. When first opening, the flowers are canary yellow; they fade to pale yellow or cream and acquire a pink tinge, especially along the petal edges. Some flowers appear singly, but most are in clusters of up to 9. The shrub is densely foliated and tolerates poor soils. Flowers fade quickly in bright sun, so Chinatown performs better in cooler climates or partial shade.
Buds are large, elongated, and pointed, lemon-yellow with carmine-red streaks. Flowers are bright golden-yellow, persistent, even-toned, high-centered, large (8–10 cm), very double (46–48 petals), fragrant, in inflorescences of 3–6, on long, sturdy, thick pedicels 50–90 cm long. Leaves are large, abundant, dark green, leathery, and wrinkled. Spines are large. Shrub 90–100 cm tall, erect, dense. Blooms abundantly; repeat bloom is weak. Winter-hardy. Resistant to fungal diseases. For group plantings. Introduced in 1967.
