Rose 'Gilded Sun' (3 Gallon)

Gilded Rose – 3 Gallon
A Garden’s Golden Love Letter

There’s something unforgettable about a rose that glows like morning sunlight. The Gilded Rose, with its buttery yellow petals brushed in gold, is a true Southern classic—elegant, cheerful, and filled with meaning. Planted in a garden or gracing a cottage pathway, it’s the kind of flower that turns everyday moments into something memorable.

Roses have long been cherished as symbols of love, beauty, and devotion. The yellow rose, in particular, became a favorite in the 19th century, representing friendship, warmth, and joy. The Gilded Rose is a refined variety that holds onto those same values, adding a golden glow to landscapes and hearts alike.

What It Represents:
The Gilded Rose symbolizes loyalty, sweet affection, and the gentle joy of lasting friendships. It’s the perfect gift for someone who brings sunshine into your life—or for planting as a reminder that kindness blooms where it's planted.

Size & Growth Habit:
This rose will grow to about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, with a naturally rounded shape that looks stunning as a centerpiece or border accent. It offers flushes of blooms from late spring through early fall, especially when regularly deadheaded.

Where It Grows Best:
Loves full sun—at least 6 hours a day—and appreciates some afternoon shade in the hottest Southern summers. Perfect for garden beds, borders, or even large containers with good drainage.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Full sun (6–8 hours daily).

• Water: Water deeply when the top inch of soil is dry. Keep the soil evenly moist, but never soggy.

• Soil: Rich, well-draining soil. Add compost for best results.

• Maintenance: Prune in early spring to remove dead wood and encourage new growth. Fertilize regularly during the growing season for lush blooms.

Complimentary Plant Companions:
Surround your Gilded Rose with lavender, salvia, or catmint to create a dreamy, pollinator-friendly setting. For a cottage garden feel, add shasta daisies or lamb’s ear—soft textures and silvery greens beautifully offset its golden blooms.

Planting a Gilded Rose is like tucking a bit of sunshine into the earth. It’s a reminder that beauty grows with care, and that the most radiant moments in life are often the simplest ones—shared with neighbors, nurtured by love, and always blooming in the heart of home.
