Climbing Golden Showers Rose Bush



This rose bush has been awesome. It has been moved twice because I started with a $7 five-gallon pot. It is now about 6 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. 
It has been trimmed back several times which helps it to bloom better. It even produces blooms in winter in Texas. It is very fragrant, if I had known how much I would have purchased more of them. The blooms are big and fluffy and range from deep to pale yellow. Tag stated petal count is 27, I've never counted. I do know the petals are double and can get very large, the leaves are dark green and glossy. 

Along with the amazing look and smell the Golden Shower Rose Bush has had a black spot a few times, and the 2020 black spot episode was a little more aggressive. I cut it back several times and applied several treatments. Then after the cold spell a few months back it lost all the leaves. It is recovering nicely.
