Rosa Perle d'Or - Old Shrub Rose

A pretty, polyantha rose, also known as Yellow Cécile Brunner, Rosa Perle d'Or is a medium-sized, deciduous, shrub rose with an upright habit and slender, rather thorny stems. The divided leaves are a good, glossy green. In summer and autumn, hybrid tea-shaped apricot buds buds open into double flowers which open apricot, then fade to creamy-apricot, deeper at the centre. This neat little rose flowers almost continuously, and is ideal as a buttonhole rose. Perfect for the smaller garden, rose Perle d’Or holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
