Description

The 'Lady in Gold'® rose bush stands out with its cut flower arrangements of fully double flowers, in shades of golden yellow to cream, which fruity fragrance reveals hints of lemon. The bush has compact growth and offers generous flowering in early summer then again in September-October. This variety brings a sunny glow to perennial beds, allows for creating large, bright rose borders, and can also be grown in containers.

Belonging to the Rosaceae family, 'Lady in Gold' is a cultivar selected by Lens Roses in Belgium, registered in 2023 under the code 'VEL23ffele'; it is also marketed as Rosa Gëlle Fra. Its name pays tribute to the Luxembourg monument "Gëlle Fra" (Golden Lady), erected in Luxembourg City, a memorial figure celebrated in 2023 for its centenary.
The habit of this small bush is compact, rounded, with upright branches. It forms a bush 80 cm to 1 m tall at ripeness, and 60 to 80 cm wide. The inflorescences are clusters of 8 to 30 flowers. Each one, fully double and cup-shaped, measures about 8 cm in diameter; their colour varies from golden yellow at the centre to pale yellow or cream on the outer petals. They emit a fruity fragrance with a lemony note. The flowering period extends from June to October, with two marked peaks in early and late summer. The foliage, of a fairly dark green, slightly glossy, dresses the stems well; it maintains a handsome appearance throughout the season, then falls in autumn; the stems are equipped with prickles.

Use 'Lady in Gold' to create a large border along a lawn or a pathway, or plant it in groups of 3 in front of taller bushes. You can plant it among robust perennials like Stachys byzantina ‘Silver Carpet’, Agastache ‘Blue Fortune’ and Gaura lindheimeri ‘Siskiyou Pink’. Also pair it with compact roses in apricot or soft yellow tones such as 'Château de Cheverny'®, 'Arthur Bell' or 'Amber Queen'.

Planting and care

The 'Lady in Gold' rose should be planted in sunny locations, though it also tolerates partial shade, particularly in our sunnier and warmer regions. It will adapt to any garden provided the soil is well worked and sufficiently rich. Although repeat flowering, its flowering will diminish during summer if conditions become too dry, resuming in autumn with the return period of rainfall. To plant your rose, prepare your soil by breaking it up finely and adding an amendment such as dried blood or dehydrated horn meal to the bottom of the planting hole. Water thoroughly after planting to eliminate air pockets. Water regularly for several weeks to encourage root establishment. As flowering progresses, remove faded flowers to stimulate the development of further buds.

Roses often become spotted or unsightly by late summer, but this doesn't affect their development. These spots aren't harmful to the rose - it's a natural phenomenon. Follow our advice for addressing this issue and consult our article: Help: I have spots on my roses
