In the garden

Rosa 'Dutch Gold' is a Hybrid Tea cultivar in the Rosaceae family and sits within the genus Rosa. As a garden rose it can be used as a shrub or trained up a support to perform as a climber or rambling form; its deciduous leaves are part of the seasonal cycle gardeners should expect. Plant in a sunny, south-facing position that is protected from strong winds. A loam-based soil with a neutral pH suits this rose; keep soil moist but ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging. Shelter reduces winter desiccation and damage—its H6 rating means it is very hardy in most UK conditions but benefits from a favourable aspect and some protection in exposed sites. Prune to a basic framework in late winter or early spring and remove crossing canes to maintain air movement through the plant. Rosa 'Dutch Gold' fits well in flower borders and beds, as a screen or hedging line when trained, and in larger patio containers placed against a warm wall. Expect a repeat flowering display from June to September; harvesting stems for the house during that period is an effective way to extend appreciation of its blooms.
