Does Anyone Have An All Yellow Rose Garden?

16 years ago

COLORS HAVE MEANING AND YELLOW IS THE

COLOR OF JOY!!!

I was just wondering, if anyone out there, has an all yellow

garden of roses. Maybe filled with Graham Thomas, Golden

Celebration, or old tea roses, that are yellow. I think it might

be an awesome sight. Yes, I've become quite fond of yellow

roses, especially buttery yellow ones. Could you please tell

us about it, if you do, or have plans to create one.

Thank You,

Devon

For a long time, I didn't like yellow and didn't want any yellow roses. I just had one to 'have one' and that was it.

But last year we went to Biltmore and DH fell in love with pink/yellow/orange combination of roses. So I went out and got some yellow and orange roses.

I have GT, Crown Princess Maragarete and Golden Celebration in a row. Pat Austin is behind them. They are all still small, but I'm hoping the effect is what I want. There are pink roses in the front about 10 feet away.

I'd love an all yellow rose garden. The one downside to the yellows I have is they fade and bleach out in the mid-summer Texas sun. But, oh boy, in the spring and fall, they are incredible.

My favorites are Graham Thomas(despite his tendency to invite blackspot into the garden) and Republic of Texas--there's a beautiful, low growing, beautifully shaped, healthy shrub.

Hmmmmm....I could put a yellow rose garden on the east side of our property....hmmmmmmm.....wanders off to find a rose catalog....

Joseph, Sorry for delay in responding; Just found out that the 2 has to be removed from propforum address. If you still want seedlings, send email with your address in March, which is good time to dig and ship; no charge: my objective is to make room for this year's seedlings. Recently checked tags: the pollen parent is Carefree Sunshine, not Elina as reported earlier. dave

Does anyone have yellow trumpet vine?
Q

I want it too. I know where it is growing on a fence by a parking lot and I took cuttings but they didn't make it. I need to try again this fall when it is a little cooler. If I can get them going, will be glad to send one to you. We have the wild trumpet vines all over the place and they are in various shades of orange to red. I can send you one of them...not sure about what shade it will be. I also have pink trumpet vine, which may or may not be related to the regular ones. The leaves and roots look the same, but it may be tropical. The only problem with mine is it is growing all over my old greenhouse and has mixed in with the wild ones, so I am not sure when I dig it whether I am getting a pink one or a wild one. They climb the telephone poles here and the pine trees. I think they look very pretty, but McMann is right...they can be very invasive. Here's the pink one. It smells faintly of strawberries. I don't think the other ones have a fragrance. Here is a link that might be useful: Podranea ricasoliana..pink trumpet vine

Does anyone have any advice for my corn? It is very yellow

Agree any local feed and farm or garden center can sell you good corn fertilizers. There are many made especially for growing corn since its needs are somewhat unique. Timing of applications is also crucial with corn as it is fed at seperate times as it reaches specific growth stages. Your Montana State Ag Extension Service website has lots of information available on growing corn in Montana and gardening in general and your local county extension office probably does too so be sure to check out all those resources.

Sounds like a wonderful idea. I gravitate to the yellow teas and tea noisettes every time.

It's funny, Jerome...I tend to stay away from yellow roses EXCEPT that I, too, gravitate toward the yellow teas and noisettes...

I love yellow roses. I have Graham Thomas, Golden Celebration, Easy living, Julia Child, Alister Stella Gray, Safrano, Thanks to Sue, Jefferson Rose, Sunsprite, and some grocery store minis interplanted with "blues" - balloon flowers, iris, clematis, caryopteris, and nanho blue butterfly bushes as a backdrop. I am very pleased with the results.

I have too my little "yellow" rose corner :o)
There are 'Sombreuil'(Colonial White), 'Duchesse d'Auerstaedt' (just coming, on tripod), 'Golden Celebration' in the background. In the foreground, a Phormium'Golden Sword', then 'Pat Austin', a very big 'Teasing Georgia' and 'Francine Austin'. The rose bushes are interspersed with Iris ochroleuca (syn. orientalis) clumps. In the front row are subshrubs and perennials, Senecio leucostachys, Helichrysum petiolare 'Limelight', Felicia amelloides, Bearded Irises..

Ciao!

I have a friend who plants only yellow roses. Cant remember what all he has, but he has inspired me to plant more yellows. One of our favorites is Nacogdoches [named for the oldest town in Texas]. It stays a bright yellow, doesnt fade, and should be more widely grown. I just received Duchesse d'Auerstadt, one I have been wanting for some time. Julia Child is a favorite, as is Honey Perfume, which I place next to Ebb Tide. I think yellow brings out the other colors beautifully and plan to add more. Roberta Bondar, a climber, is a pretty, non fading yellow that I have on a fence. I look forward to adding the new Sunny Knockout in the spring.

All the gardens of yellow mentioned, sound awesome, especially
Buford's, with that combo of DA roses, which adds a touch of
apricot to the yellow garden and that is a winning formula.
Paddlehikeva, also adds a color that makes yellow roses sing
and that is blue. How pretty and classic is that.

I once made the mistake of planting all red roses in a specific garden spot. I ended up breaking them up because it became obviouse that it was far more appealing to mix them up.

I love yellows though. I especially like Safrano, Lady Hillingdon, Golden Showers, Graham Thomas and Sunsprite. All good yellows! Mix them with some whites, apricots, pinks and reds and it is audacious! Purple flowering plants in the background or in the mix is a great idea as well.

I have had a rose bed of 24 Graham Thomases. I would still have it but for the RMV that all the roses had thanks to crappy propagation by Park Wayside. When it was good, it was very, very good. When it had spring canker, failure to thrive at year five, it was awful.

Since then, my OGR collection has grown, or at least tried to grow.
I've seen the Sunflare and similar modern roses and some of the modern minis that almost demand sunglasses to view.
And as I read old rose books, lists from the late 1800's and I look at the consistant wonderfulness of Safrano and the occassional wonderfulness (my weather) of Duchesse d'Auerstadt, and I really, really wish that many of the olde Teas with yellows in their descriptions were still around. Not the modern yellow injected by R. foetida, but the pale, pleasant and quieting yellows that move calmly into pale apricot, shades of cream and that make so many pinks glow.
But so many teas seem to be lost. And so many related noisettes and .....

What a wonderful topic! I'm learning so much on this forum. (Only it all makes me wish I had several acres for a garden!)
