Smiley Face™ Climbing Rose

Smiley Face™ Climbing Rose solves the yellow rose problem — most yellow climbing roses start vivid and fade quickly to pale cream or white as the blooms age, leaving the plant looking washed out by the end of each bloom cycle. Smiley Face™'s intense yellow semi-double blooms don’t fade. The color stays vivid and saturated from the moment the buds open through the end of each flower’s life, giving the plant a continuously bright, cheerful presence that earns the name. Glossy foliage sets off the vivid yellow beautifully, repeat blooms arrive in summer and fall without deadheading, and resistance to mildew and rust keeps the plant looking healthy and attractive through the season. Reaches 10–12 feet, ideal for fences, trellises, and arbors in Zones 6–9.

Intense Yellow That Doesn’t Fade — The Rare Thing in Yellow Climbing Roses

Yellow rose fading is one of the most common and consistent disappointments in the rose garden. A yellow climbing rose that opens vivid and stays vivid through the life of each bloom is genuinely uncommon — and Smiley Face™ delivers it. The semi-double flower form with its open, cheerful face and saturated yellow petals holds its color without the bleaching that makes many yellow varieties look tired within days of opening. Plant it where it can be seen and it will be noticed.

Glossy Foliage, Summer and Fall Rebloom

The glossy, healthy foliage is the backdrop that makes the vivid yellow blooms look even more striking — a rich, shiny green that contrasts beautifully with the saturated yellow flowers and gives the plant ornamental value even between bloom flushes. The summer and fall repeat blooming delivers two distinct periods of peak display rather than a single spring flush, extending the Smiley Face™ season from early summer through frost.

Mildew and Rust Resistant — 10–12 Feet of Climbing Color

The mildew and rust resistance keeps the foliage clean and attractive through the humid conditions of summer — one of the practical advantages that separates disease-resistant climbing roses from the spray-intensive varieties they replace. At 10–12 feet, Smiley Face™ fills a fence, pergola, or arbor with color without requiring the kind of intensive management that makes some climbing roses more trouble than they’re worth.
