Yellow flowers packed with thirty to thirty-five petals open against deep green leaves, on a compact bush barely a metre high. Golden Fashion (‘Nirpyelasif’) offers no scent at all, but it repeats its bloom from early summer to mid-autumn; give it full sun and ordinary soil, and it flowers on and on.

Golden Fashion is one of many yellow roses sold in garden centres, and several of its rivals bring the fragrance it lacks. Here are widely grown yellow varieties and what separates them.
| Variety | Height | Flower | Fragrance |
|---|---|---|---|
| ‘Graham Thomas’ | 4 to 8 ft (1.2 to 2.5 m) | Deep yellow, cupped, many petals | Strong tea fragrance |
| ‘Golden Wings’ | 4 to 5 ft (1.2 to 1.5 m) | Single pale yellow, amber stamens | Light |
| ‘Arthur Bell’ | About 3 ft (90 cm) | Golden yellow fading to cream | Strong and sweet |
| ‘Julia Child’ | 2.5 to 3 ft (75 to 90 cm) | Butter gold, rounded blooms | Sweet, aniseed note |
| ‘Gold Medal’ | 5 to 6 ft (1.5 to 1.8 m) | Deep gold, long pointed buds | Moderate, fruity |
| ‘Sunsprite’ | 2.5 to 3 ft (75 to 90 cm) | Unfading deep yellow | Strong, sweet |
| ‘Mountbatten’ | 4 to 5 ft (1.2 to 1.5 m) | Mimosa yellow, full blooms | Light |
| ‘Chinatown’ | 5 ft (1.5 m) | Yellow, sometimes edged pink | Good, fruity |
No particular fragrance, sad to say, since looks aren’t everything. But eyes can still behold their beauty, and, as the Little Prince says: “It truly has a purpose, if it is beautiful”!
Follow our advice on pruning rose trees.
The Golden Fashion rose tree bears yellow flowers with around 30 to 35 petals. The deep green leafage highlights them beautifully.
