# A new type of rose has been discovered at Vergelegen wine estate in Somerset West after an existing rose plant naturally changed colour. The new rose, named Vergelegen, has large butter-yellow flowers with a light scent. It grew from a McHardy rose bush in the estate’s garden. The new rose has since been grown at Ludwig’s Roses nursery in Pretoria. Vergelegen says the new plants will take one to two seasons to grow fully.
Vergelegen’s gardens welcome a rose variety born from a natural mutation
