Rosa Xanthina ‘Canary Bird’

Masses of marvellous, musk-scented, single, yellow flowers on reddish-green arching stems in May and fern-like, grey-green leaves. ‘Canary Bird’, a pretty shrub rose, makes an excellent, informal hedge for an open, sunny site. One of the first roses to flower, the distinctive, fern-like foliage is perfect for floral arrangements.

All our roses are grown in an open field and then dug up when the weather conditions are right in October or November. Ideally they should be planted out as soon as possible. They will already have been cut back so no further pruning will be required, apart from snipping off any tips that have died back. Routine pruning can begin in late winter the year after planting.
