About David Austin® Graham Thomas® Potted Climbing Rose
Rosa ‘AUSmas’ — David Austin® Graham Thomas®
🧬 Breeder: David C. H. Austin
🌹 A world-renowned English rose with rich golden-yellow blooms, exceptional vigor, and a warm tea fragrance.
Graham Thomas® is one of the most celebrated English roses ever introduced, beloved for its clear, saturated golden-yellow blooms that seem to glow in the garden. The flowers are beautifully cupped, opening into classic rosettes with a slightly informal, natural charm. Unlike many yellow roses, this variety holds its color remarkably well, maintaining its rich tone even in bright sun. Its fragrance is a fresh tea scent with soft hints of violet, adding another layer of beauty to an already radiant rose.

It’s also one of the most reliable and vigorous English roses, making it a favorite for both new gardeners and seasoned collectors.
