Introduced over forty years ago, 'Golden Showers' is still one of the most floriforous yellow climbers available. The somewhat informal flowers are golden-yellow, similar to the color of Jonquils, and are borne reliably over a long season. There are two major flushes of bloom, one in spring and the other in fall, but flowers will almost always be around, even during the hottest days of summer. Produced in clusters and as singles, the flowers have an informal charm which would make 'Golden Showers' a welcome addition to the cottage garden. Golden Showers' is used most often as a climber, but can be pruned to form an outstanding shrub of six feet or so.
Foliage is dark green and generally healthy.
Winter hardiness is good, especially for a yellow rose. All rights reserved.
