Summary

Rosa ecae, commonly known as Yellow Rose of the Himalayas, is a deciduous subshrub native to rocky slopes and scrublands of the Western Himalayas and Central Asia. It typically grows to a height and width of 3-6 feet (0.9-1.8 meters), forming a rounded, bushy habit. The plant is characterized by its single, bright yellow flowers that bloom in spring and early summer, providing a striking display against the green foliage. The flowers are not particularly fragrant, which is atypical for roses. Rosa ecae is valued for its hardiness and drought tolerance once established, making it a suitable choice for rock gardens, mixed borders, and xeriscaping.

The Yellow Rose of the Himalayas thrives in full sun and requires medium amounts of water, preferring well-drained soils. It is relatively low-maintenance, but gardeners should be aware of common rose afflictions such as black spot and powdery mildew. Pruning is recommended to maintain shape and encourage blooming. This species is not known for aggressive roots or significant disease problems, making it a reliable choice for gardeners seeking a resilient flowering shrub.CC BY-SA 4.0
