More information
Maigold is grown in cold climates for its winter hardiness and early flowering; the name ("May gold") indicates that it flowers about a month earlier than many other roses in Germany. The buds are elongated and pointed, and the flowers are copper-apricot with a golden yellow underside; the initial colour is pronounced. The petals have slightly ragged edges, with a cluster of red stamens in the centre. The blooms fade quickly to pale yellow, especially in heat; colouring is brightest in colder climates. Flowers appear singly or in small clusters. The foliage is bright, pale green, with young leaves bronze and margins strongly serrated. Somewhat susceptible to black spot. The bush carries abundant long, thin thorns. With support, the rose can reach 4m, producing long canes visible from a distance. It tolerates poor soils and is easily propagated by cuttings.
