Fountains of golden rose flowers!
Our Lady Banks rose (Rosa banksiae 'Lutea') is in glorious, full bloom! 'Lutea' is a vigorous climbing rose with double yellow flowers. It is the most popular of the banksia roses, and is known for producing many flowers.
Rosa banksiae is native to China, and 'Lutea' was reportedly introduced to Europe in 1824 by samples collected from the Calcutta Botanic Garden. This climbing rose can be trained to a pergola, fence, or wall where it can cover up to 20 feet or more.
A banksia rose planted in 1884 in Tombstone, Ariz., now covers nearly 5,000 square feet.
