Bee Gold
Bee Gold is a compact rose with light yellow flowers. Just like many wild roses, the flowers have only 5 petals, which gives Bee Gold a very natural look. The flowers stand out because of the eye-catching stamens. This rose has excellent disease resistance. The rose can be planted in the garden, in low borders, but it also does well in a pot on the terrace. The first flowers of this rose appear early in the season. Bee Gold is one of the first roses to bloom. From the start of flowering, bees and bumblebees find nectar in the flowers of Bee Gold. Bee Gold is a particularly attractive rose. The 'Bee' in the name Bee Gold also refers to the special attraction that the rose has for bumblebees and bees. In the autumn, red hips appear that provide extra ornamental value.
Plant height up to 40cm.

Maintenance
Roses love the sun, so pick a spot for your roses where the summer sun will reach them for at least a few hours. Roses thrive in nutrient-rich soil. In spring and summer, you can use an organic fertilizer on your roses. Roses do not mind a dry spell; extra watering tends not to be necessary. Plant the roses at a 30-40 cm distance from each other or from other plants. When planting, place the spot where the stems turn into roots just below the surface, then firmly press the plants into the ground and water. Beautifully flowering roses are achieved by pruning in winter. Prune in February-March, but not when it is freezing. During pruning, remove thin and dead stems, leave just a few strong young stems and cut those down to a length of ±15 cm. In summer, you can encourage a second bloom by cutting off dead flowers.
