Climbing Rose
Rosa Compassion
Beautiful, fully double, high-centred soft apricot to salmon pink blooms with an outstanding, sweet scent emerge from well-shaped buds between June and August. This is a popular, large flowered climber with a vigorous, upright growth habit and shiny, dark green leaves. It has stiff, thick stems with large, red thorns and looks excellent when combined with contrasting strong-coloured climbers or against a dark wall. The clusters of fragrant, Hybrid Tea-shaped blooms also makes it perfect for growing up a pergola or arch so its scent wafts about as you pass through. We recommend pinching out faded flowers immediately to encourage a second flush of colour

Garden Care:
Dependent on the time of year you buy our roses, the compost may break away when removing from the pot because they are field grown and potted in autumn. Prior to planting trim the roots to 25cm and the stems to 15 to 20cm taking care to cut diagonally away from and above an outer facing bud. Mix compost in with the back fill and a potash based fertilizer.
