The blooms are fragrant and showy without feeling heavy, so the plant adds romance while still looking natural in the landscape. It is vigorous and adaptable, filling vertical space quickly and creating privacy and texture where you need it most. If you want a dependable climbing rose that delivers flowers for months, this is a proven choice.

Distinctive Features

This climbing rose produces clusters of double, blush-pink flowers that can fade toward a softer blush-cream as they mature, creating a light, luminous look across the plant. Blooming begins in late spring and continues in repeat flushes through the season, often carrying well into fall. Glossy, dark green foliage provides strong contrast and helps the flowers stand out from a distance. Mature size is typically about 10 to 15 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, depending on training and growing conditions.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun is best for the strongest flowering, and light shade is tolerated with slightly fewer blooms.
• Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil, and amend with organic matter to improve performance in average beds.
• Water: Water deeply during establishment, then water during dry spells while avoiding consistently soggy soil.
• USDA Zones: Zones 5 to 9.
• Support: Provide a sturdy trellis, arbor, or fence, and tie canes as they grow to guide coverage.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Use as a focal point on an arbor or entry trellis where fragrant blush blooms can frame the space through the season.
• Trellises and Arbors: Trains easily to create height, structure, and a finished garden look.
• Fences and Screens: Covers fencing for privacy and a softer, greener backdrop with seasonal flowers.
• Pergolas: Adds color and fragrance overhead while creating a more inviting outdoor room.
• Garden Walls: Softens hard surfaces with glossy foliage and repeat bloom for a more relaxed feel.

Low Maintenance Care

• Pruning: Prune in late winter to early spring to remove dead wood and shape, and thin older canes as needed to keep growth vigorous.
• Training: Tie long canes horizontally where possible to encourage more flowering shoots along the length.
• Deadheading: Remove spent clusters to encourage faster repeat bloom and keep the plant tidy.
• Feeding: Fertilize in spring and again after the first bloom flush to support repeat flowering and strong growth.
• Mulching: Mulch to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the root zone through temperature swings.
