Provide support such as a trellis or arbor. Blooms on old wood; prune just after flowering. |
| History | This is a unique once-blooming rose in many ways. First it is thornless; second it is nearly tropical being so frost tender, and third, it is evergreen. This double yellow rose originates in China but it was the Calcutta Botanic Garden that announced it to the world. The Royal Horticultural Society sent John Damper Parks to Asia to obtain samples. He sent this plant back to England in 1824 on the East Indiaman trading ship Lowther Castle. With that shipment came an important yellow tea rose. 'Lutea' is a subspecies of R. banksiae, first discovered by Regel in 1877 in China and also by Pierre Delavay who introduced it into France around 1884. Plants that reached Kew would be named for Lady Banks, wife of the director of Kew and financier of many expeditions to Asia. |
