AUSBAKER – yellow climbing rose – Austin | pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Climbing production with AUSBAKER provides a premium own-root base for trained vertical features where height and coverage are commercially critical, supporting stable scheduling for pergola, wall and arch projects across sites where winters are reliably endured by its H7-rated hardiness, while own-root propagation underpins long-term regeneration and predictable stand performance for nursery networks and public-realm supply. With remontant, strongly scented, very double blooms of rich golden-yellow colour and an award-backed fragrance profile, this cultivar suits staked, pre-trained 3–5 cane production in 5–7 L containers as an exclusive, space-defining feature for thematic rose gardens and collection-led ranges, fitting a development arc where roots establish in year one, framework extends in year two and full ornamental value is expressed from year three in finished trained climber product lines.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Climbing rose from the English Rose collection; registered as AUSbaker, also traded as Teasing Georgia and Ausbaker English Rose AUSbaker; shrub rose, park and exhibition shrub category. |
| Origin and breeding |
Large-flowered climber bred by David Charles Henshaw Austin, parentage ‘Charles Austin’ × unknown seedling; bred 1987 in the United Kingdom and registered in 2000, introduced commercially after 2000. |
| Awards and recognition |
Holds RHS Award of Garden Merit and Henry Edland Medal fragrance award, alongside other national and international competition distinctions, supporting specification in quality-focused portfolios. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy, moderately thorny climber reaching about 180–270 cm high and 90–140 cm spread, with dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage providing good visual coverage on supports and structures. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, 2.75–3.95 inch very double rosette blooms, usually solitary on the stem; petal count exceeds 40 and flowering is remontant, with the second flush noted as particularly abundant in season. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Rich golden-yellow flowers, ARS yb, RHS 11D and 14A; buds open deep yellow with paler edges, outer petals lightening to pastel and buttery tones, inner colour longer-lasting, creating a soft two-toned effect. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strong, noticeable scent with a tea and myrrh character; highly double form gives high ornamental value but limits accessibility for pollinators, so it is not classed as pollinator-friendly in plantings. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasional spherical rose hips produced, around 8–12 mm in diameter, orange-red when mature; typically incidental to its main use as a flowering climber rather than for fruiting interest. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to approximately -26 to -23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b, Swedish Zone 4); disease sensitive, showing moderate mildew and very susceptible black spot and rust, requiring proactive plant protection regimes. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best used as a wall, fence, pergola, arch or solitary climber, and as a park or cut-flower shrub; recommended as a trained climber finished product with staked 3–5 canes, acknowledging higher maintenance needs. |
