Ah, them yellow tea roses, what beauties they be! These flowers, they’re bright and sunny, like they got a bit of sunshine right inside them petals. Folks around here, they just love ‘em in the garden ‘cause they brighten up the yard real nice. Now, if you want to grow these yellow tea roses, reckon I can share some tips that even someone like me can follow.

Picking the Right Spot

Now, first thing you gotta know, these yellow tea roses, they’re a bit picky ‘bout where they’re planted. They love the sun! They don’t wanna be hiding in no shade all day, that’s for sure. So, best you find a spot that gets full sunlight, at least 6 hours a day if you can manage it. These roses, they grow best when they’re basking in sunlight like they’re on vacation!

Soil and Planting

Now, soil’s gotta be just right too. Yellow tea roses, they like soil that’s got some nutrients but also can drain easy – they hate standing in water. You could say they got a bit of a “delicate stomach.” So when you’re planting, dig a hole a bit deeper than the root ball and make a little mound of dirt inside the hole. Then, spread them roots over that mound nice and gentle.

• Fill the hole with dirt, pat it down a bit, but don’t squash it too tight.
• Water it good, give it a nice first drink, let them roots settle.
• And be sure you give ‘em space – don’t plant them all crammed together like peas in a pod!

Watering and Feeding

These yellow tea roses, they’re thirsty fellas! Don’t be stingy with water, especially when it’s hot out. But remember, like I said, they hate sitting in puddles. Water at the roots, not the leaves – they don’t like getting all soggy on top. A good soak once a week should do it, but check the soil; if it’s dry, give it more.

As for food, these roses, they like a bit of fertilizer. Give ‘em a feeding every month or so during the growing season, but don’t overdo it, or they’ll get too excited and start growing all wild. A balanced fertilizer with a good bit of phosphorus, that’s what you want. Helps ‘em bloom all big and bright.

Pruning: Snip, Snip!

Now, here’s something folks tend to fuss about – pruning. But it’s simpler than it sounds. Yellow tea roses, they don’t like scraggly bits. So in the spring, you go and cut off any dead or weak branches. Look for stems that look a bit thin or broken, and snip ‘em off. Anything less than half an inch thick – gone!

Cut back to a good, healthy bud; that’s where new growth’ll come. And if you see any diseased bits, get rid of those right away! Clean up them clippers after – don’t want none of that disease spreading ‘round your garden.

Choosing Different Varieties

Ah, there’s more than one kind of yellow tea rose, and some of them are famous! You got your Marco Polo Rose, which is a nice medium yellow, real lovely and bright. Then there’s the Oregold rose, deep yellow and rich-looking, bred by a fella named Mathias Tantau. These are popular, so you might find ‘em at your local garden center or maybe even online.

Each variety got its own charm, you know? So pick what suits your taste, but know they’re all gonna bring a bit of sunshine to your yard.

Using Yellow Tea Roses at Home

Now, these yellow tea roses, they ain’t just for show. Some folks like to cut a few and bring them indoors. A vase full of yellow roses brightens up a room like nothing else. And, believe it or not, some folks make tea outta rose petals! They say the smell and taste, it’s soothing. Just make sure your roses are safe for that – no chemicals or sprays on the petals, you hear?

These roses also bring bees and butterflies to your garden, which is mighty nice. Good for the garden, good for the heart, I say. They add a touch of class to any little spot in the yard.

Keeping Them Safe from Pests

Now, just like anything pretty, these roses get their share of trouble from bugs and critters. You got your aphids, which are tiny little pests, look like green dots on the stems. You got your black spots, mildew – all sorts of pesky things. A good spray with soapy water helps keep them bugs off. And if you see black spots on the leaves, trim those leaves right off. Don’t let none of that disease spread.
