double yellow banksia rose

Vigorous rambler rose ideally trained on a sheltered wall or fence in full sun with moderately fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. For best flowering apply a balanced fertiliser and mulch in late winter or early spring. Protect from frost and cold drying winds for best results. See rose cultivation

Any pruning carried out on this early-flowering, semi-evergreen rambler should be done immediately after flowering is finished in the spring. Alternatively, prune spent wood or renovate as per pruning group 18 (roses)

Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn or by chip budding in summer

Aphids, rose leafhopper, glasshouse red spider mite, scale insects, caterpillars, large rose sawfly and rose leaf-rolling sawfly may be a problem. Deer and rabbits can cause damage

May be affected by black spot, rose rust, powdery mildews, and a downy mildew
