Notes
'Golden Showers' rose (Rosa 'Golden Showers') is a vine for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist soil of most types. Medium yellow flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Dr. Walter E. Lammerts bred it in 1957.
