More information
Large, open, cup-shaped blooms display a deep, vivid yellow. The foliage is very glossy but shows limited resistance to black spot, and the plant performs better in dry climates. It forms a medium-sized, branching shrub with a tea-rose fragrance.
Happy Child produces flowers that are dark yellow at first, then fade quickly to lemon, cream, and white. They open into slightly cup-shaped rosettes, sometimes with a button eye. The petals are rounder than in most Austin roses. The foliage is very dark and shiny, similar to a floribunda. Blooms appear in small clusters (usually 3–5) on a branched, very prickly bush. Establishes slowly after planting, then forms a shrub with slightly drooping shoots. It flowers repeatedly and abundantly, but can suffer from black spot.
This English rose bears densely petalled, cup-shaped flowers 7–10 cm in diameter. They appear in clusters, bright yellow at first, with paler outer petals. It blooms in early summer with abundant repeat flowering. Shoots are slightly drooping and moderately prickly. The shrub is compact, branched, and upright. Used in mix-borders with blue or purple perennials such as catnip or sage; planting in groups of 3 or more creates a massed color effect. Shows good disease resistance.
