Old rose bush 'Persian Yellow'

FamilyRosaceae

Rosa foetida ‘Persian Yellow’, commonly known as the ‘Persian Yellow’ old garden rose, is a historic variety remarkable for its vibrant bloom and heritage charm. Its broad, slightly upright, bushy habit forms a graceful shrub, ideal for borders, informal hedges, or as a specimen plant. In spring, it is covered in a profusion of bright yellow double flowers with silky petals, sometimes slightly tinged with gold, offering a unique luminous display among old garden roses. Moderately fragrant, they release a light and characteristic scent. Its flowering is unique, concentrated at the beginning of the season, followed by dull medium green foliage. Hardy and vigorous, Rosa foetida ‘Persian Yellow’ attracts pollinators and brings authenticity and radiance to romantic or cottage-style gardens.
