Notes
'Golden Years' rose (Rosa 'Golden Years') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The yellow flowers are fragrant and attract bees. Blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and into early autumn. Harkness & Co bred it in 1990.
Pairs well with Woolly yarrow, Purple Coneflower coneflower, and Joe-pyeweed.
