Click on my picture to purchase me for your garden Categories: Rose Climbing
| DescriptionA romantic, fantastically fragrant, old-fashioned Rose, and still one of the most popular Climbing Roses today, especially in Europe. Peaking in spring and fall, the loose, semi-double blossoms of vivid cerise-carmine provide outstanding mass effect. Grows vigorously to 15 to 20 feet and, remarkable for any Rose, performs well in shade; excellent for north-facing walls and areas with little sunlight.Rich, dark green foliage (coppery-purple when young), is very mildew-resistant; canes are thornless, great for planting where traffic is heavy or children are nearby. The perfect choice to train over a trellis or porch, or trim into a formal hedge. |
