More information
Although new yellow cultivars continue to appear, the rose King’s Ransom, bred in the United States in 1961, remains in cultivation. This hybrid tea produces very large blooms 12–13 cm in diameter. The fully double flowers comprise 40–45 petals of bright golden-yellow. They show a high center and slightly rolled petal edges, opening from pointed, spiral buds with a light blush that shifts to golden, then to sunny yellow after a few days. The petal color holds through the season, and the blooms exhibit rain tolerance. King’s Ransom is a long-flowering hybrid tea; flowering extends from June to October. The bush has an upright habit and reaches 70–90 cm in height. Numerous branched shoots arise from the base, each typically carrying 5 lightly fragrant flowers. Bright yellow buds contrast with dark green, glossy foliage. The large blooms on long pedicels are suitable for cutting.
