America Climbing Rose

America Climbing Rose (Rosa 'JACclam')

America Climbing Rose is a vigorous climber that quickly transforms a fence, trellis, or arbor into a long-blooming vertical feature. Large, fully double blooms open in rich coral-pink tones with warm salmon and apricot highlights, giving the plant a bright, energetic look from late spring into fall. The flowers are notably fragrant with a strong, spicy scent that makes patios and entryways feel more inviting. If you want a climbing rose that delivers repeat color, real coverage, and fragrance, this is a dependable choice.

Distinctive Features

This climbing rose produces generous clusters of large, many-petaled blooms in coral-pink to salmon tones, often showing subtle shifts in color as the flowers open and mature. The fragrance is strong and spicy, adding another layer of impact beyond the visual display. Canes typically reach about 10 to 14 feet with support, building a full, upright presence that works well for screening and vertical design. Dark green foliage provides a clean backdrop that helps the warm flower color stand out.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun is best for strong flowering, with 6 or more hours of direct light each day.
• Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil amended with organic matter for best growth and bloom.
• Water: Water deeply and consistently, especially the first year, keeping soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
• USDA Zones: Zones 6 to 9.
• Support: Provide a sturdy trellis, fence, or arbor and tie canes as they grow to encourage fuller coverage.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Train it as a focal point over an arbor or entry trellis where the coral-pink clusters and fragrance can define the space.
• Trellises and Arbors: Covers vertical structures with repeat bloom and strong seasonal presence.
• Fences and Walls: Softens hard lines while adding height, privacy, and long-season color.
• Garden Gateways: Creates an inviting passage with bold bloom clusters and spicy fragrance.
• Living Screen: Builds dense vertical coverage when trained along posts, panels, and pergolas.

Low Maintenance Care

• Pruning: Prune in late winter to early spring to remove dead wood and shape, keeping main canes and shortening laterals for blooms.
• Training: Tie canes horizontally or in gentle arcs to encourage more flowering shoots along the length of the cane.
• Watering: Water at the base to keep foliage drier and reduce disease pressure during humid weather.
• Feeding: Fertilize in spring and again after the first bloom flush to support repeat flowering.
• Mulching: Mulch to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce weeds around the root zone.
