Rosa Golden Age - Climbing Rose

The 'Golden Age' Climbing Rose is a modern variety that has managed to preserve the charm of wild roses. Its strong, regular, and vigorous growth, with a natural appearance, is adorned with small glossy leaves and bursts into a profusion of semi-double rosettes in shades of yellow at the beginning of summer. Other bouquets will discreetly adorn it until the end of summer. Full of vitality, it looks equally beautiful trained on a support, on a cabin, or left to grow naturally as a large bush. Very easy to grow in all our regions and resistant to diseases, this climber with small yellow flowers is currently unrivalled in its class.

The 'Golden Age' or 'Adadenoj' Rose, registered by rose breeder Adam in 2011, is a modern hybrid with a climbing habit, belonging to the Floribunda group, with flowers clustered in corymbs or bouquets. It has won several awards in international competitions: in 2011 in Baden-Baden, the Prize of Honour of the City of Zweibrücken and the Silver Medal. In 2013, it was awarded the Certificate of Merit in Madrid, and finally, still in 2013, the Certificate of Merit in Bagatelle.

The plant develops long upright stems covered with prickles that can climb up to 4 or 5 metres (13 or 16 feet) in height. It can easily spread up to 2 metres (7 feet) in width. When grown as a bush, it forms a large, slightly informal shrub, reaching 2.50 to 3 metres (8 to 10 feet) in all directions. Its foliage is composed of leaves divided into small, elongated, narrow, and pointed leaflets, slightly glossy, in a vibrant medium green colour. The flowering is abundant at the end of May or early June and then sporadically continues until the end of September. The flower heads are clusters of 20 to 60 small flat roses, each with ten petals measuring 3 cm (1in). They start bright yellow and fade to a pale, creamy yellow over time. This flowering emits a slight honey scent, more noticeable in calm and warm weather. The disease resistance of this rose is excellent. This small, hardy climber loses its leaves in autumn.

This modern climbing rose, 'Golden Age,' adds a charming touch to any structure, whether on a sun-exposed wall, a pole, an old tree, a garden cabin, a fence, etc. It allows for creating sumptuous decorations throughout the summer, requiring very little maintenance except for regular watering in summer during periods of high heat and prolonged drought. As elements of English-style gardens, rose arches provide beautiful shelters to rest while connecting different parts of the garden. Mix or combine them with easy-to-grow large-flowered clematis like 'Etoile Violette', 'Montana Mayleen', or 'Broughton Star'. When grown as bushes, climbing roses blend perfectly into a free and blooming hedge.
