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

We’d recommend feeding with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a year in spring
