Rosa banksiae 'Lutea' is a thornless rambling rose with small, glossy toothed leaves and pretty hanging sprays of small, double yellow flowers with a light fragrance, in April and May.

This is the hardiest variety of Rosa banksiae. Large and vigorous, it's a good choice for covering a rose arch or pergola, and even training through a tree.

Mulch Rosa banksiae 'Lutea' every year with well-rotted manure or compost. Flowers are borne on the second or third year's growth, so avoid pruning anything other than dead wood or crossing stems.
