Rosa x floribunda Arthur Bell

Rosa 'Arthur Bell' is a vigorous bush that will be appreciated for the generosity and brightness of its flowering. This variety produces large bouquets of double roses that range from bright golden yellow to pale-yellow and cream, creating charming shades of yellow throughout the plant. These large roses are also pleasantly scented. The bush is vigorous and resistant to diseases. It blooms continuously throughout summer. It looks stunning in flower beds and also provides beautiful flowers for bouquets.

Rosa 'Arthur Bell' is a modern hybrid belonging to the Floribunda Rose group. It is a bushy variety similar to English roses, with a repeat flowering habit, producing large flowers grouped in small clusters. The bush has an upright habit. It quickly reaches a height of 1m (3ft) and a width of 80cm (32in). The roses measure approximately 10cm (4in) wide. They are cup-shaped, slightly turbinate, and composed of more than 40 yellow petals. When fully open, they flatten to reveal a golden stamen centre. Each flower emerges from a pointed bud lightly variegated with orange. The intense and sweet fragrance is more noticeable in warm weather. The foliage is divided into dark green glossy leaflets, and it is disease-resistant under good growing conditions. The plant loses its leaves in winter.

This radiant bush is perfect for flower beds, planted in groups of 3. It pairs well with many perennials or annuals with light flowering, such as panicled baby's breath, tall phlox, perennial geraniums, love-in-a-mist, or catmints. Create a beautiful ensemble by combining it with a white or orange bush rose. It tolerates competition from the roots of other plants, making it ideal for a bed of moderate-sized flowering shrubs (deutzias, abelias). Also consider pairing it with small-sized clematis, with violet, blue, or white flowers.
