Tip of the Week

There is something truly magical about yellow hybrid teas. Here are some of the best of both old and modern yellows.

Grandpa Dickson (Irish Gold) :
This rose has stood the test of time and was introduced in 1966. The exquisite palest lemon blooms sometimes have a tinge of pink in cool weather. Rain resistance is very good for such a light colour. Growth is upright , foliage glossy dark green and reasonably healthy. Scent is however faint at best.3- 4 ft tall.

Peace:
Another oldie pale primrose pink edged blooms of enormous proportions. Introduced to a waiting world after the second world war.Lately I have found Peace to be loosing it´s reputation for good health. A tall six footer with a slight fragrance.

Freedom:
A lovely pure deep yellow. Flowers are medium sized but a big plus is the fragrance. A strong bushy grower with healthy, glossy, dark green foliage. One of the best for bedding. Introduced 1984. 3ft tall.

Peaudouce(Elina):
Perfect large sweet smelling blooms of primrose/ ivory Very healthy. 3-4ft tall.

Pot O´ Gold :
Healthy bushy growth . Blooms are antique gold and strongly perfumed. 3-4ft tall. Introduced 1985.
Poetry In Motion:
Creamy gold is an apt description for this near perfect rose. Large strongly scented blooms atop healthy abundant deep green foliage. A new star introduced in 1997 . 3-4ft tall.
