Rosa Banksiae Lutea

Common Name:
Banksia Rose 'Lutea' (Yellow Banksia Rose)

Description:
Rosa banksiae 'Lutea', commonly known as the Yellow Banksia Rose, is a vigorous, virtually thornless climbing rose renowned for its masses of small, fragrant, double yellow blooms in spring. This fast-growing, evergreen climber features fine, deep green foliage and an elegant, arching growth habit, making it ideal for covering fences, trellises, pergolas, and walls. Unlike many other roses, 'Lutea' is highly disease-resistant and thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional pruning after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
