WaterThe Golden Rambler Rose should be watered deeply once a week, providing approximately 1 to 2 gallons of water to the base of the plant, making sure the soil is moistened to a depth of about 18 inches. During hot or dry periods, the frequency may need to increase to twice a week. It's important to avoid overhead watering to prevent disease, and instead focus on ground-level watering to keep the foliage dry. In winter, water only as needed to prevent the soil from drying out completely, since the rose will be dormant and its water requirements will be lower.
LightThe Golden Rambler Rose thrives in full sunlight, requiring at least six hours of direct sunlight each day for optimum growth and blooming. The best spot for planting is in an area that receives morning sun and some partial afternoon shade in very hot climates, as this can help to protect the blooms from the intense heat.
TemperatureThe Golden Rambler Rose is hardy and can tolerate a range of temperatures; however, it performs best in temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. It can survive minimum winter temperatures down to about 20°F, but protection in colder regions is recommended. During the growing season, ensure it is not exposed to temperatures above 90°F for extended periods, as this can stress the plant.
PruningPruning the Golden Rambler Rose is important for maintaining its shape, promoting vigorous growth, and encouraging abundant flowering. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins, cutting back old wood by about one-third and removing any dead, diseased, or damaged canes. The best time for major pruning is after the last frost, but light pruning and deadheading can be done throughout the blooming season to keep the plant tidy and encourage more blooms.
CleaningAs needed
SoilThe Golden Rambler rose thrives in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure. A slightly acidic to neutral pH, ranging from 6.0 to 7.0, is optimal for this rose variety. For the best soil mix, blend two parts loam, one part peat moss, and one part aged manure or compost.
RepottingGolden Rambler roses, being vigorous climbers, are typically planted in the ground rather than in pots, and thus do not require frequent repotting. However, if grown in containers, repotting every 2-3 years in early spring is ideal to rejuvenate the soil and accommodate root growth.
Humidity & MistingGolden Rambler roses prefer outdoor conditions where they can receive fresh air circulation, and they do not require high humidity. Typical outdoor humidity levels are suitable for this plant, and it does not have specific humidity requirements.
Suitable locationsIndoor
Not ideal for indoors; needs full sun, ample space.

Life cycleRosa 'Easlea's Golden Rambler', commonly known as the Rambler Rose, begins its life cycle as a dormant bare-root plant or potted specimen in late winter or early spring. Upon planting, it enters a vegetative stage where leaves and canes develop rapidly with proper sunlight, soil, and water. Flower buds form in late spring or early summer followed by a blooming period where clusters of fragrant yellow flowers adorn the plant. Post-bloom, the flowers may develop into small, red-orange hips (fruit) that contain seeds, though propagation is commonly done via cuttings rather than seeds for this cultivar. During the fall, the plant prepares for dormancy by slowing growth and potentially shedding some leaves. Lastly, throughout winter, Rambler Rose is dormant, conserving energy to restart the cycle in the next growing season.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring to Summer
Propogation: Rosa 'Easlea's Golden Rambler', commonly known as the yellow rambler rose, is frequently propagated by hardwood cuttings. This method typically involves taking a cutting from the rose's mature stem during the dormant season, which is late fall to winter. The cutting should be about 6 to 8 inches long, and it is crucial to use a sharp, clean tool to make the cuts to prevent disease and ensure a healthy cutting. One end of the cutting is then dipped in rooting hormone to stimulate root growth and planted in a pot with well-draining soil, ensuring at least a couple of buds are above the soil surface. The potted cutting needs to be kept in a sheltered place like a cold frame or greenhouse with consistent moisture until roots have developed and it can be transplanted outdoors.
