The Rosa Banksiae 'Lutea', also known to us common folk as "Lady Banks" is a true show stopper!
Lady Banks is known to produce hundreds if not thousands of blooms per plant that usually "strut-their-stuff" in late Spring to early Summer. Their fragrance can range from non-existant to mild. It just depends on the unique plant.
Lady Banks has endless possibilities for use in the landscape. It's ability to climb and spread is great for the trellis, walls, fences, and where ever it can get a hold. It is easily shaped with minimal pruning.
Some Lady Banks have been known to grow to a height of 20 feet or more. They love the sun and are easy to grow. Down South, you will occassionally see them growing in roadside ditches and on old homesites. Just look for the abundant yellow blooms in clusters.
Lady Banks is evergreen in warmer climates and deciduous in cooler areas.

Ahhhh!!! Finally a few moments to catch up. Lady Banks is one of our favs. We started a rose garden in our back yard, and the main attraction is our Lady Banks. She was quite small the first season, just sinking her feet in the ground. Last season, she bagan to slowly fit into her new home. She moved along slowly, with quite a few blooms. But, THIS SEASON, she took off. She spread her hips and refused to let any of the other roses show her up. Deff. one to be recomended. Thank you for reminding me of this beautiful flower. Always, and at the moment catching up and looking forward to the next post.
