Comments: Rosa 'Zitronenfalter' or Lemon Butterfly Rose or Papillon Jaune Rose is an antique nearly thornless shrub tea rose with a lush, upright v-shaped growth habit. It is a showy hybrid by hybridizer Mathias Tantau Jr of Germany in 1956. From late Spring till frost, Rosa 'Zitronenfalter' prolifically produces clusters of very fragrant, large, double deep yellow flowers, borne on new wood. The freshly cut flowers makes a lovely bouquet while the dried flowers are ideal for potpourris. Papillon Jaune Rose has bright green serrated foliage. Lemon Butterfly Rose is easily propagated from stem cuttings. It thrives best in well-drained, rich, loamy soil in a sunny environment. Rosa 'Zitronenfalter' is free flowering and is low maintenance. It has nearly thornless stems and is safe to grow around children or foot traffic. Prune early to promote new growth next season. Grow Lemon Butterfly Rose as a stand alone specimen for a captivating show. Its strong fragrance permeates the air in the garden and its charming beauty and disease resistance makes it a much sought after rose plant by avid gardener. I love Papillon Jaune Rose for its continuous flowers, providing the Summer and Fall landscape with beauty and perfume.
