The long, pointed buds open into flowers of 4 to 8 petals and form a simple, bowl-shaped to plate-shaped flower in the middle of which the characteristic orange to bronze-colored stamens become visible. The unfilled flower shape makes an excellent bee pasture . The lemon-yellow flowers have a strong, sulfur-yellow base. The color will fade at high temperatures. The flowers reach a size of 7 to 10 cm and are characterized by a mild wild rose scent. Large orange-red rose hips appear in autumn . The rose variety 'Golden Wings' has light to medium green, matt to slightly shiny foliage.
