English Shrub Rose
The rich, golden yellow flowers of GOLDEN CELEBRATION are large for what's technically a shrub rose (3 inches across), very double, and very fragrant. It's also one of the more versatile roses. It can be trained to a container, a specimen, a hedge, or a climber. This award winner is from David Austin, the breeder dedicated to
combining the shapes and scents of old-fashioned English roses with the
repeat bloom, disease resistance, and hardiness of modern roses. Like
all roses, the more sun you give it, the more flowers you'll get in
return. Foliage is disease resistant, but no rose is
disease-proof. Spraying against fungal problems may be a good idea if you
can't give it full sun or it's too crowded for
good air circulation. Roses, particularly repeat bloomers,
are heavy feeders so fertilize in spring and again mid-summer.
Come winter, mulch and protect against rabbits and deer.
