Golden Showers Climbing Rose is a classic, award-winning climbing rose celebrated for its abundant golden yellow blooms and exceptionally long flowering season. Large, lightly fragrant flowers appear in late spring and continue to bloom repeatedly until frost, creating a stunning display against its glossy dark green foliage. Its vigorous climbing habit makes it an excellent choice for covering trellises, arbours, pergolas, fences, and walls, where it adds both vertical interest and vibrant colour to the landscape. Easy to grow and reliable, Golden Showers performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and offers good disease resistance when provided with proper air circulation. This beautiful climbing rose attracts bees and other pollinators while providing months of elegant blooms for the garden and fresh-cut floral arrangements.

Ornamental & Landscape Value

Seasonal Interest:

Spring foliage emergence, abundant blooms from late spring through fall, attractive glossy green foliage throughout summer, and colourful rose hips may develop if flowers are not deadheaded.

Garden Value:

A classic repeat-flowering climbing rose prized for its long bloom season, large fragrant flowers, excellent vertical coverage, and reliable garden performance. Ideal for adding height, colour, and fragrance to landscapes.

Wildlife & Human Value:

Fragrant blooms attract bees and other pollinators, while the dense flowering habit provides seasonal beauty for gardens and cut flower arrangements. Rose hips that develop later in the season may provide a food source for birds if flowers are left on the plant.

Planting & Care Guide

Planting Considerations:

Plant where the base receives good air circulation and the canes have sturdy support. Space adequately from walls to improve airflow and reduce disease pressure. Mulch annually to maintain even soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Care:

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a location receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water deeply during dry periods, mulch to conserve moisture, prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or weak canes and shape the plant, and tie new canes to supports to encourage maximum flowering.

Tolerances:

Heat tolerant once established, moderately drought tolerant once established, urban pollution tolerant, and resistant to common rose diseases when grown with good air circulation.

Tips For Success:

Train young canes horizontally along supports to encourage more flowering shoots. Deadhead regularly to promote repeat blooming. Fertilize in early spring and after the first flush of flowers. Water deeply rather than frequently during dry weather.
