Rosa 'Mermaid'

Often considered a climbing rose classic with its large single scented pale yellow flowers and lovely glossy leaves, it flowers for months but should not be considered for exposed positions as I find it very brittle, certainly a wall would suit it but beware the thorns when tying in! It is a cross between the lovely species bracteata and a china rose and is to the credit of William Paul who first introduced it in 1918.
