Liane Foly® – yellow landscape shrub rose – MEIjecycka
If You would like a reliable yellow rose that simply settles in and performs, Liane Foly® is an easy-going landscape shrub bred for busy Irish gardens. Its bushy, rounded habit stays naturally neat, so it works perfectly in front gardens, along paths or as a low hedge without fussy shaping. Clusters of canary-yellow, single blooms repeat all summer, gradually softening to creamy tones that feel wonderfully romantic and cottage-like. The open, pollen-rich flowers are highly wildlife friendly, drawing bees and hoverflies into even the smallest urban plot. Dark, glossy foliage brings a consistently fresh look, while strong disease resistance keeps spraying and worry to a minimum in our damp, fungus-prone climate. The medium citrus scent adds a quietly fragrant note near doors, drives and seating areas. As an own-root shrub it offers a reassuringly long lifespan: year one focuses on roots, year two on bushy top growth, and by year three You enjoy its full, stable ornamental value with very little effort.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
