More information

When introduced, this cultivar was presented as the first yellow rambler; its flowers fade very quickly, and the color persists only a couple of hours. Buds are apricot; blooms open bright yellow and then bleach to white. Inflorescences carry 15–25 flowers with bright yellow stamens. The shrub is robust, free-flowering, and tolerates poor care; although susceptible to black spot and powdery mildew, these diseases seldom limit flowering. Foliage is small, bright green, glossy, and the shoots are almost thornless. It can be trained as a low pleached rose or grown as a large, spreading bush.

This variety grows much smaller than typical variegated roses, so it fits small gardens. Known for decorative foliage and abundant bloom; small rosette-shaped, semi-marginal, weakly blooming flowers shift between yellow and cream, with a central cluster of darker golden stamens. Shoots are nearly thornless. Suitable for planting against a north wall.
