The Lady Banks Lutea rose is a charming rose. Filled with thousands of tiny petaled roses. It blooms but once a year but retains its shiny green foliage the rest of the year. This is a true climber. I have loved this rose my entire life and planted many of them.

They do need water as the hot dry summer moves in but their root system is deep and strong.  They require much less water than annuals.
