Rosa banksiae 'Lutea' (Lady Bank's Yellow Rose) from Diana's garden. "It is a scrambling shrubby vine growing vigorously to 6 m (20 ft) tall. It is almost thornless. The leaves are evergreen in mild climates. The flowers are small, 1.5-2.5 cm diameter, white or pale yellow. It is amongst the earliest flowering of all roses, flowers usually appearing during May in the northern hemisphere, though cold weather can delay flowering". RHS
