Rosa banksiae 'Lutea', commonly known as the Yellow Banksia Rose, is a spectacular, vigorous climbing rose producing masses of small, double, soft golden-yellow flowers that cascade over lush green foliage in a breathtaking spring display.

Yellow Banksia Rose is a much-loved heritage climbing rose renowned for its extraordinary flowering performance, graceful arching stems and virtually thornless growth. During spring, the plant becomes smothered in clusters of delicate, rosette-shaped yellow blooms, creating a magnificent waterfall of colour. Its attractive, glossy green foliage provides a lush backdrop throughout the year, remaining evergreen to semi-evergreen in milder climates.

Exceptionally hardy and drought tolerant once established, Yellow Banksia Rose is ideal for covering pergolas, arbours, fences and large garden structures. Its vigorous growth and beautiful cascading habit make it an outstanding choice for creating romantic cottage gardens, flowering archways and spectacular seasonal garden features.

Plant Care

Plant in a full sun to part shade position in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Full sun will encourage the most prolific flowering. Water regularly during establishment, then provide occasional deep watering during extended dry periods once established. Install a strong pergola, trellis or supporting structure to accommodate its vigorous growth. Apply a quality slow-release rose fertiliser in spring and mulch well to conserve moisture. Unlike repeat-flowering roses, Yellow Banksia Rose flowers mainly on mature wood, so prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape, control size and encourage new growth for the following season. Avoid heavy winter pruning, as this may remove developing flower buds.
