Latin name

Common name
Hybrid tea rose 'Mellow Yellow'
Type
Flowering shrub
Family
Rosaceae

The Rosa 'Mellow Yellow', a bright and refined hybrid tea rose, captivates with its large, double, light yellow to soft lemon-yellow flowers, whose delicate hue retains its freshness even in the summer sun. The elongated buds open into well-formed, turbinated blooms with slightly satiny petals, emitting a pleasant light to moderate fragrance that is not overpowering. Its bushy, upright, and well-branched habit allows it to harmoniously structure sunny borders or bring a touch of luminosity to a pastel-colored bed. Prolific and reblooming, it produces several waves of flowers during the summer, offering strong stems perfectly suited for cutting. Its dark green, dense, and healthy foliage creates an elegant contrast with the softness of the color and shows good disease tolerance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. The Rosa 'Mellow Yellow' brings freshness, elegance, and discreet radiance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
