Caring for your Gold Bunny roses

When planting Gold Bunny roses, picking the right time of year is essential. Planting in early spring, when there is still a risk of frost, is ill-advised, as the cold weather can damage new plants. Instead, wait until late spring or early summer and choose a spot with full sun exposure.

Pruning is a crucial aspect of Gold Bunny rose care, promoting air circulation and maintaining the desired shape. As these roses tend to climb, providing sturdy support structures like trellises or arches will help guide their growth gracefully.

Additionally, apply a balanced fertiliser in the spring to encourage robust blooms, and keep an eye out for any pests or diseases, addressing your soil type promptly to ensure the health of your Gold Bunny roses.

Frequently asked questions

With a track record spanning more than four decades, All Green has established itself as a trusted authority on plants in Melbourne. Our team of experts are here to answer all your rose-related questions. Contact us for more information.

Is the Gold Bunny rose a climbing rose?

The Gold Bunny rose, a highly sought-after hybrid created in New Zealand in the mid-1980s, is a floribunda variety with a classic rose shape. It is a low-growing, compact rose bush with medium green foliage, light fragrance, and small clusters of soft gold blooms. As with other floribunda varieties, this type of rose does not produce any overhanging canes suitable for climbing and would require some training and support if you wish to grow it on an arch or trellis. 

When do Gold Bunny roses bloom?

Generally, the peak period for Gold Bunny roses to fully bloom here is typically from July to October. Those lucky enough to access these elegant flowers can watch as they reach their highest level of beauty from September to October as temperatures become warmer and more conducive to supporting the delightful buds.

Are Gold Bunny roses suitable for the Melbourne climate?

Gold Bunny roses are the perfect choice for any gardener living in Melbourne. These roses boast large, vibrant yellow petals with a compact light green bush, making them a visually striking addition to any garden. While their shallow roots make these plants more susceptible to water logging, their unique properties make them particularly well-suited to the hot and dry climate of the city. As they require less water than other plants, they are easily looked after with minimal effort - perfect for busy gardeners. 

Can Gold Bunny roses be bare-root plants or potted roses?

Gold Bunny roses can be grown as bare-root plants or potted roses for those who prefer to nurture them in a pot. When growing roses as bare-root plants, it is important to make sure they are planted in an area with plenty of sun exposure so they can bloom optimally. 

On the other hand, if you want to grow them in a pot, you'll need to provide more frequent watering than you would with a traditional garden flowerbed due to the plant's shallow root system. Either method will let you enjoy these attractive flowers year-round and add a little something special to any garden or balcony!
