A truly great rose. For years, five siblings of Northern Yellow were toughing it out in pots while the garden was being shaped. Protection in winter was nowhere to be seen. Winters and springs are anything but forgiving. Yet, Northern Yellow persists and thrives, brightening up wet and/or cold summers with its semi-double, light yellow flowers with their elegant, strong scent (!). Never sick, beautiful leaves, and good repeat until the frosts provided there are adequate nutrients available. Given how compact it is, and all the other qualities it has (incl. petals dropping of cleanly), I think this one would make a great rose for mass planting.

This has turned out to be a very good rose in my USDA 5b location with very harsh winter weather. Squeaky clean, strong musk scent, flowers from midsummer onwards, beautiful hips. Leaves too are beautiful. Stays a rather nice bush size of 150 cm, with overhanging canes. Insects fight for the easily accessible nectar. For those who are engaged in hybridizing roses for colder climates, this ought to be a winner.

In the desription, it says that this rose "can be pruned to maintain a shorter habit". I would like to try this-what do I do? cut it back by one-third,as is sometimes suggested for Austins? Thanks in advance !

I grow "Portland from Glendora", which is thought by some rosarians to be Joasine. Mine does send out long canes. I have cut it back by about 1/2, and will likely do so again this year.
