WEKMAJUCHI – golden-yellow bedding floribunda rose - Bédard
Imagine your London front garden after rain: paving still damp, leaves shining, and a compact golden rose releasing a sweetly spicy perfume into the cool air – this is where balance meets easy-care colour. WEKMAJUCHI forms a bushy, medium-sized shrub clothed in dark green foliage, carrying clusters of very double, cup-shaped blooms that hold their brightness well in unsettled UK weather, even where wind and showers roll in from the coast and over heavier soils needing thoughtful drainage. Its self-cleaning flowers keep beds and pots looking neat with minimal deadheading, while own-root vigour supports a long-lived, reliable display as seasons pass. Planted in peat-free compost and watered from your water butt, it settles in steadily – roots in year one, generous shoots in year two, and full impact by year three – bringing fragrant comfort, visual harmony and a quietly sustainable presence to busy urban plots.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden flower bed
Bushy, medium-height growth and golden-yellow clusters create an immediate focal point in small front gardens, giving strong colour from a modest footprint and staying tidy thanks to good self-cleaning, ideal for a low-fuss, welcoming approach for the busy urban householder.
Low, informal hedge
Even height and branching allow a loose, informal hedge along paths or boundaries, softening hard landscaping while keeping views open; own-root durability supports a long-lived line of plants that regrows well after pruning, suiting the long-term planner.
Large container on terrace or balcony
Performs well as a feature in large containers of at least 40–50 litres, where its compact footprint, repeat flowering and self-cleaning habit keep maintenance simple, especially when paired with peat-free compost and rainwater, appealing to the sustainability-minded beginner.
Mixed perennial border
The rich golden-yellow blooms combine beautifully with purples and blues, while medium density, dark green foliage blends into planting schemes; summer-long repeat flushes give reliable structure among perennials, ideal for the creative home gardener.
Cutting patch for scented blooms
Clustered, strong-stemmed, medium-sized flowers provide a steady supply of sweetly spicy, golden stems for the vase; remontant flowering ensures repeat pickings without exhausting the bush, attractive to the home flower arranger.
Rainwater-conscious urban garden
Suited to beds that work with rainfall rather than against it, coping well where regular showers and heavier soils meet, as long as basic soil structure ensures excess water can slowly move away from the roots, reassuring the environmentally aware owner.
Family garden seating area
Strong, sweetly spicy fragrance and repeated flushes of cheerful colour create an inviting atmosphere near benches and patios, with moderate maintenance focused mainly on seasonal pruning and feeding, making it ideal for the relaxation-focused family.
Public or shared planting strip
Robust, bushy habit and good self-cleaning make it practical for shared spaces with only occasional care; own-root stability and frost hardiness support reliable long-term structure, well suited to the community garden organiser.
Styling ideas
Sunny-Soho – Line a narrow terraced-house front bed with WEKMAJUCHI and underplant with lavender and low Nepeta for a golden-and-lilac ribbon – ideal for style-conscious city dwellers.
Rain-Kissed – Combine with Heuchera and ornamental grasses in a free-draining, rain-fed strip that soaks up runoff from paving – perfect for sustainability-focused homeowners.
Balcony-Bouquet – Grow a single plant in a 50-litre pot with trailing thyme at the rim for fragrance at seating height – suited to busy flat owners wanting impact in little space.
Golden-Edging – Use as a low edging rose in front of taller perennials like Russian sage and salvias, giving a glowing border frame – great for hobby gardeners building layered views.
Perfumed-Path – Plant on either side of a short path to create a scented corridor of spicy, golden blooms – appealing to families who enjoy evening walks in their own garden.
Technical cultivar profile
Characteristic
Data
Name and registration
Floribunda bed rose registered as WEKmajuchi, marketed as Wekmajuchi Bedding rose WEKmajuchi, also known in exhibition circles as Doris Day; classification and naming verified for eleanorROSE own-root production.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Christian Bédard (USA) from cross ‘Julie Newmar’ × ‘Julia Child’; raised by Weeks Wholesale Rose Grower, Inc, bred 2011, registered 2013 and introduced to the market in 2015 via Weeks in the United States.
Awards and recognition
Honoured with the Golden Rose award at the Rose Hills International Rose Trials in 2016, recognising its garden performance, colour quality and fragrance under trial conditions, adding reassurance for long-term planting choices.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright shrub typically 120–160 cm in height and spread, with medium-density dark green foliage and fairly dense prickles; forms a full, rounded framework suitable for beds, hedging and larger containers in family gardens.
Flower morphology
Produces medium-sized, very double, cup-shaped blooms with over 40 petals, carried in clusters; remontant flowering habit with a plentiful second flush ensures repeating displays across the season, and spent blooms generally drop cleanly.
Colour data and phenology
Closed buds are deep golden yellow, opening to bright sunshine yellow and maturing to a uniform, glossy golden-yellow (RHS 14B–14A) with only slight lightening at petal edges; colour holds well with minimal fading under normal garden conditions.
Fragrance and aroma
Notably perfumed variety with a strong, sweetly spicy scent that is easily appreciated at close quarters; fragrance adds value both in the garden and when used as cut flowers indoors, enhancing seating areas and entrance spaces.
Hip characteristics
Occasionally produces small spherical orange-red hips, 16–24 mm diameter, in RHS shades 28A–30C; hips are generally incidental rather than ornamental but confirm successful flowering and pollination within the season.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated to approximately -21 to -18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b) with sound winter resilience; shows resistance to powdery mildew and medium susceptibility to black spot and rust, responding well to standard, consistent rose care practices.
Horticultural recommendations
Prefers full sun with fertile, well-structured soil and regular feeding; moderate maintenance includes seasonal pruning and watering in dry spells. Suitable for beds, edging, larger containers, cut flowers, solitary specimens and small park plantings.
WEKMAJUCHI offers long-lasting golden blooms, strong fragrance and tidy, self-cleaning growth on a resilient own-root framework, making it a thoughtful choice for years of easy enjoyment.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
WEKMAJUCHI – golden-yellow bedding floribunda rose - Bédard
Product Type:
eleanorROSE® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Foliage:
The variety's foliage has medium density; the leaves' surface characteristics are not clearly classifiable and their colour is a dark green shade.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double (as opposed to simple or semi‑double) blooms with 40+ petals have limited appeal to pollinators because the dense petal form hides the stamens and restricts access to nectar and pollen.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
