Yellow roses are said to signify friendship, and this hardy shrub will surely prove a great friend to any keen gardener when it flowers in midsummer. Although the blooms of Rose 'Yellow Fairy' don't give off an aroma, their double-flowered nature and warm, golden colour more than make up for their lack of scent. What's more, the plant boasts glossy, green foliage, which will fit nicely into any sunny patio container or cottage garden border. Height: 1m (3'3). Spread: 1m (3'3).
