Rosa Maigold (Climbing Rose)

Incredibly tough and fragrant, Rosa 'Maigold' is a magnificent climbing rose with masses of large, semi-double, bronze-yellow flowers, 4 in. across (10 cm), with golden stamens. The pretty clusters are set off by the healthy foliage of glossy dark green leaves along the prickly arching stems. Blooming first in early summer, this deliciously fragrant climber produces a second flush of flowers in fall.
