Yes, both are yellow. TG is a deeper yellow than the Pilgrim. However, I think Graham Thomas would be a better match for your shutters.

Thanks for your tips, it's the season to plant them, I will see which variety is easily available here in Switzerland..

Boy that's a modern rose color yellow on those shutters.

I've grown The Pilgrim and it's a refined pale yellow, often paler than Old Rosarian's photo.

As much as I love Graham Stuart Thomas, I don't think it would pop with color in the same view as those shutters. They are just SO bright and saturated.

Would you consider some of the modern floribundas? Sunflare could hold its own as could Golden Hotstein. (There are also some fairly obscure miniature roses with the concentrated yellow, but they are minis and often on small bushes, as well.)

The yellow you want is the yellow that in dried rose flower arrangements stays a true yellow, if that might match European availabilities

If you do find a good yellow rose, climbing or not, that DOES NOT fade under the hot sun please let me know too. Futhermore, if it really does bloom consistenly under 35C let me know twice.. unless these are only midday temps and you get quite cool nights in your area in which case this should help. Being in the upper Rhone valley maybe this is the case.

Btw, my cl. Lady Hillingdon often, but not always, resembles that shutter colour. Not in high summer though, since it doesn't bloom then..

Here is my "Teasing Georgia' in the morning and afternoon, same flower.

And below is "Charlotte'.

Perhaps a more modern rose like 'Winter Sun', 'New Day' (a florist's rose) or 'Sunshine, Daydream'? They all seem to have different shades of yellow so hitting your exact shade may be somewhere in the array.

...is this any good to you...? I don't recall any apricot notes and I've no idea of its suitability for your climate, winter or summer, but it'll certainly climb.... quite a way...

...it's an Austin Noisette called 'Malvern Hills'...

How about 'Golden Celebration'? The color looks about right.

Thanks all, but so many comments, I'm a bit lost, but will analyze your answers..

I think you might like Goldregen from Noack. The German breeders were working with Dubloons, I think, and came up with a number of yellow climbers, or large shrubs. Goldregen is the one I grew. Kordes' Golden Gate seems to be getting a lot of attention lately. Have you tried looking on the Kordes and Tantau websites?

There is only one VERY yellow rose that I know of that not only doesn't fade in the sun, but also intensifies its color in the sun. R. foetida 'Persiana'. However, it is not a climber and its unusual fragrance does not appeal to many people. This rose is mostly a once bloomer too (although it can be encouraged to repeat a little with pruning). Persiana likes heat, and the color would be pretty with your shutters. Maybe you have another spot, close the cactus(?), where this rose's striking yellow could brighten the hillside?

I really want a climber and frangrant rose, even if it is not the perfectly right color... The pilgrim is to light yellow and teasing georgia too apricot... Seeing the availability of your different suggestions here in switzerland, I just bought yesterday a Graham Thomas. Unfortunately for other varieties, I couln't buy abroad, cause we are not in EU and almost impossible to receive living plants here... Thank you all for the good advices, and keep finger crossed for the good grow of my new rose!!! :-)

I know for a fact that many German nurseries dispatch to Switzerland. It seems to be generally quite easy to import roses from EU countries.
Importing plants into Switzerland

I am surprised by that fact, cause at my job, we have problems importing plants, mostly alpine plant. Thanks a lot, now I know that at least for roses, it is possible. :-)
