The rose Golden Showers was first bred in 1956 in the United States by Dr Walter Lammerts. Dr Lammerts was a successful rose breeder in the 1940's and 50's. This rose was introduced to market later that year by Germain Seed & Plant Company. Golden Showers was created by crossing the Charlotte Armstrong rose with the climbing Captain Thomas rose. The result was a hardy yellow climbing rose that produces absolutely huge blooms averaging up to 6 inches in diameter!
Golden Showers roses will grow about 10 feet to 14 feet tall and spread out to widths of about 6 feet across. The giant yellow blooms are somewhat full and will contain as many as 30 petals each and carry with them a fragrance not unlike licorice.
