Rosa Banksiae Lutea, Lady Banks Rose

Rosa Banksiae Lutea, Lady banks Rose

This is not a rose for the faint-hearted, but it's easy and so wonderful in the right spot. It's
adorable lemon-yellow small, fully double flowers appear in fantastic profusion that's almost
unbelievable. There is a sweet delicate rose scent.
The incredible flower show starts in late spring and continues for many weeks. It is rare to witness
such a glorious flower display.
The foilage is in scale with the flowers and is evergreen in the Southern part of the USA and deciduous
in cooler areas.
This plant has another asset, it's virtually thornless, making it very easy to handle and train.
In order to truly appriciate this rose, give it enough room to spread, climb and ramble. It would look
great covering an old garden shed or an old dead tree.
You can easily provide a rustic structure for this rose to climb over with the cascading canes hanging
down. This rose is one of the Old Garden Roses and was introduced in 1824. Zones 6-11, height 30-35 feet.
