Rosa 'Yellow Button' (aka AUSlow) is a yellow blend shrub rose, bred by British rose breeder, David C. H. Austin in 1975. It was the first yellow rose of Austin's English Rose Collection.
'Yellow Button' is a bushy shrub rose, 3 to 4 ft (0.91–1.22 m) in height, with a 2 to 3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) spread. It has very full (40+) pom-pom shaped petals, born in clusters of 3–9. Buds open to flowers that are a bright yellow and fades quickly to white, beginning at the edges. This creates a pretty contrast between the bright yellow center and the pale outer petals. The rose has a mild, fruity, often musky fragrance and has dark green foliage and red prickles. The shrub occasionally blooms later in the summer. 'Yellow Button' is not a hardy shrub, and requires regular attention to keep it healthy. It thrives best in cool climates.[1][2][3]
