Yukon Sun is a shrub garden rose, growing up to 75 cm in height by close to a metre in width with a semi-upright growth habit. The vibrant yellow semi-double flowers (7.6 cm) bloom continuously throughout the entire growing season. Plants are highly resistant to black spot disease. They are cold hardy to -35C when most of the top shoot dies but regrows well again in the spring.
As in all other rose varieties, Yukon Sun does not like waterlogged soil but
requires watering during dry spells to have good blooms. It self-cleans,
meaning the spent flowers shed petals, keeping the plants tidy with fresh
growth and new flowers. Plants are resistant to blackspot disease and do not
need to be covered during the winter. Prune this rose in the early spring or
fall to give the bushes the desired shape.
