I planted this 'Molineux' rose (by David Austin) in April 2025, and it is currently in bloom with very large amber-yellow flowers. The fragrance is magnificent – the flowers smell of cologne water.

Description

The English rose Molineux forms a modest-sized bush, irreplaceable in flower beds and borders. Its exceptionally abundant and continuous flowering is double, with a rich golden yellow colour, enhanced by a scent of tea rose with a musky undertone. This variety is healthy, disease-resistant, and thrives in all climates. It was awarded 'Best Rose of the Year' at a competition organized by the Royal National Rose Society, recognizing its outstanding performance and fragrance.

This rose is an upright bush with regular growth, reaching a small to medium size of 70 cm (28in) to 1 m (3ft) in height and 75 cm (30in) in width. It produces thorny branches covered with dark green glossy foliage that is resistant to diseases. Often used as cut flowers, its large double rosette roses open flat in a slightly amber-yellow shade with an orange centre, releasing a delicate fragrance without being overpowering. Its decorative fruits persist on the bush for a long time, delighting the eyes and birds.

This bush, slightly smaller than others in the same range, is perfect for small gardens and looks stunning in flower beds and borders. Its warm-toned roses can be accompanied by perennial plants and a colour range of your choice. Whether you appreciate yellow in the garden or not, this rose is ideal for brightening up, warming, or adding cheer to a somewhat gloomy corner. In regions where the summer sun is intense and the light is harsh, the yellow of its flowers with its rare intensity, harmonises beautifully with red flowers. It is well-suited to Mediterranean climates but cannot withstand temperatures below -20°C. It can also combine well with white or pale blue flowers.

Obtained by David Austin in 2004.

Planting and care

Plant your English Wood Rose Molineux in a sunny or lightly shaded location. English roses are tolerant but will not tolerate excessive limestone. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well worked and rich enough.  To plant your rose, prepare the soil by crumbling it and adding an amendment, such as bonemeal, at the bottom of the planting hole. Water abundantly after planting to remove air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root growth.

Pruning English roses is essential for flowering. At the end of winter, shorten the branches to 3-5 buds above the ground (at the lowest level), choosing an outward-facing bud for a more elegant habit. Take advantage of this pruning to remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Pruning is done at an angle above a bud. As the flowers bloom, remove faded flowers to stimulate the development of other buds.

After a very harsh winter, it will need to be pruned very short or protected by mounding with turf, for example. Like all continuously flowering roses, it appreciates a fertiliser application at its base in May, June, and July, especially during its first three years in the garden.

Roses are often spotted or unsightly in late summer, but it is not a problem for their development. These spots are not harmful to the rose; it is a natural phenomenon.

Care

Pruning instructions Pruning English roses is essential for flowering. At the end of winter, shorten the branches to 3-5 eyes above the ground (at the lowest point), about 30 or 40 cm (12 or 16in) from the ground. Choose an eye that points outward for a more elegant habit. Take advantage of this pruning to remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Pruning is done at an angle above an eye. As the flowers bloom, remove faded flowers, as this stimulates the growth of other buds.
