5 rose bushes with yellow dog-rose flowers

The English rose 'Tottering-by-gently', with notes of musk and orange.

Let’s start this selection with an English rose created by David Austin: the ‘Tottering-by-Gently’ rose. It produces, from June to October, a multitude of pale yellow dog rose bouquets with a golden heart, spreading a light and delightful scent of musk and orange zest in the air. The single flowers are composed of 5 petals and have a charming country look. The young leaves, initially purplish-bronze when they appear in spring, later turn light green.

This rose forms a rounded bush with a height of 1.4 metres at maturity. Vigorous, it is resistant to diseases. In a garden, it helps create a lovely country atmosphere! Place it in a border or a flowering hedge with purple or blue buddleias, caryopteris, or orange or blue salvias. You can also pair it with lilacs, viburnums, hibiscus, or hydrangeas.

The rose 'Rosa hugonis', an early and generous flowering

The rose ‘Rosa hugonis’ is an early-flowering botanical rose, blooming abundantly in spring, from April to May. A multitude of pale yellow roses emerge on thorny, hazel-coloured branches. Its 5 cm dog rose flowers open in clusters on finely cut foliage, which transitions from medium green to purple-brown in autumn. It also bears small decorative mahogany fruits in autumn.

This rose reaches 2 metres in height and 2 metres in width at maturity. It is a wild rose native to central northern China. Very hardy, it adapts to drought and is resistant to diseases, but it does require sunlight to thrive fully. It is ideal for a bocage or defensive hedge that will serve as a refugium for birds. You can place it alongside cotinus with its fluffy flowers, viburnums, buddleias, syringas, and lilacs.

The 'Mermaid' rose, a vigorous and rustic climber

The climbing rose ‘Mermaid’ is a long-flowering rose that blooms from June until the frosts. It bears large, single flowers resembling yellow-sulphur dog roses, with a bright yellow centre adorned with prominent, orangey stamens. The flowers measure 10 cm and emit a light, lemony fragrance. Its stems, equipped with significant prickles, also bear beautiful, glossy dark green, semi-evergreen leaves. In autumn, it produces red fruits known as hips.

This rose can climb up to a height of 7 metres and spread to 4 metres wide. Hardy and resilient, it thrives in full sun but can also tolerate a partially shaded position. However, it is sensitive to severe frosts, excess lime, and poorly drained soils. Easy to grow, it has been awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society in England. Plant it in full sun against a wall or facade, unless you prefer to place it in a defensive hedge alongside clematis.
