Description
Rosa Golden Showers is a vigorous deciduous climbing rose in the Rosaceae family. It reaches about 250 to 400 cm high and 150 to 250 cm wide, with upright dark stems, long scrambling canes, and glossy dark Green compound leaves made of Ovate Serrate leaflets.
Loosely double ruffled flowers appear repeatedly from early summer into mid autumn. Each flower is about 10 cm wide, opening rich Yellow before paling through lemon Yellow to Cream. Flowers are lightly sweet-scented and may be held singly or in small Clusters. Green hips can follow and mature to Orange and Brown.
Grow in full sun or partial shade in fertile humus-rich Chalk, Clay, Loam, or Sand with Acid, Neutral, or Alkaline pH. Provide a strong permanent wall trellis, arch, arbor, or pergola and maintain moist but well-drained soil. Train long canes across the support to encourage flowering side shoots.
Apply compost and a balanced rose feed in spring and again during active growth. Water deeply at the base during dry periods and avoid wetting foliage. Propagate with hardwood cuttings or chip budding. Prune and train climbing growth carefully, and monitor common rose pests and fungal diseases. Fruit are ornamental and not to be eaten, and gloves are advised when handling stems.
