‘Golden Wings’ is a vigorous hybrid shrub rose that flowers best in full sun with rich well-drained or sandy soil, but it will tolerate clay if the drainage is adequate. It is a repeat bloomer with fragrant yellow blooms and orange stamens. The leaves are glossy light green and it has few prickles. Shows good disease resistance. Prune in later winter or early spring after chance of severe weather has passed. More information on Rosa .
