Vines - Lady Banks Rose - Yellow

Hardy, vigorous species climbing rose with yellow blooms. Masses of 1-2 inch wide double, buttery yellow roses cover the upper stems and vines during spring in clustered strings. Flowers lack much fragrance but what they lack in scent they more than make up for in an amazing visual display. Leaves are small divided, dark green and stems have virtually no thorns. These plants can develop self-supportive stems but climbing on or over something is best. An arbor, trellis, lattice, walls, fences, or entire buildings is good. The famed “Tombstones Rose” happens to be a large example of this durable species, covering nearly an entire city block in Tombstone, AZ. They bloom the best in full sun, but can tolerate some shade, and extra water during hot summer months.
