Key Characteristics
Description / Zephirine Drouhin Climbing Rose
Introduced in 1868 and a favorite ever since, Zephirine Drouhin Climbing Rose is a romantic, fantastically fragrant, old-fashioned rose that is still one of the most popular climbers today. No modern rose has been able to exceed it for sheer performance, rich raspberry scent, and generous season-long bloom, and if you make Zephirine Drouhin Climbing Rose part of your landscape, you will treasure its beauty and generosity of bloom.
Peaking in spring and fall, the loose, double blossoms of vivid cerise-carmine provide outstanding mass effect. Each bloom is about 4 inches across, opening from a long, pointed bud and made up of 20 to 24 richly colored petals that are infused with a strong, evocative raspberry scent. Just one flower is a delight, so you can imagine what a vaseful looks and smells like.
This old French Bourbon rose grows vigorously to 15 to 20 feet high and 4 to 6 feet wide and, remarkable for any rose, performs well in part shade. Zephirine Drouhin Climbing Rose is an excellent choice for north-facing walls and areas with little sunlight. Zephirine Drouhin Climbing Rose will continue to bloom in summer, but its heaviest showing will usually be in the cooler temperatures of spring and fall.
The rich, medium-green foliage (coppery-purple when young) is very mildew resistant, and the canes are thornless, making Zephirine Drouhin Climbing Rose great for planting where traffic is heavy or children are nearby. This classic, time-tested climbing rose is the perfect choice to train over a trellis or porch, or trim into a formal hedge. Plant in moist, well-drained, loamy soil.

Beautiful Rose but need full sun
Review by
Denise Parker
I purchased 2 for my new home in 2018. One was placed in the very front of my home and one on the side. The side location was somewhat shady and has not bloomed to date yet it's still alive(the description stated it would grow well with little sunlight so I thought the side with its partial shade location would do but it didn't. You live and you learn. The one placed in the from of the house is blooming profusely. I moved the one located on the side to the front and I'm hopeful it will get what it needs there and will bloom just like the other. When that one rose blooms the smell and the visual is just incredible.

So far, so good!

I ordered five of these and planted them in March on the north side of my deck. It is now June and the first bloom has popped out! It smells amazing! More spicy than sweet, but a very lovely fragrance. I am very pleased with the condition of the plants and they all have done very well.

Best thornless climber, shade tolerance ever.
Review by
J. Miller
Bought my first Zéphirine Drouhin over 20 yrs ago, now have to replace one of 4 for a trellis. Blooming in part shade, wonderful old-fashioned smell, they are all totally disease-free even here in humid Southern Indiana. Highly recommend.

Vigorous and Gorgeous
Review by
Lisette
I purchase this climber (my very first rose ever) and it arrived early March here in Florida. I was afraid the sun on the south side of my house would burn the leaves (and afraid the north side would promote disease). WOW. In just under a month the rose is full of leaves and I already have two blooms. It's incredible!

Made in the shade
Review by
Stephen
Initially I planted 3 plant in a 16' planter for a full sun trellace. The August NC sun was a bit hot for them. They now live on the north side of the house next to the main entrance. Yes, they are thornless. The only problem I have with them is that they are pretty susceptible to black spot. Otherwise beautiful, fragrant and frequent blooms.

Fantastic Performer
Review by
J. Chambers
Planted two of these on a north facing wall and even with the unusual growing season the midwest experienced this year (snow in May, endless rain in July) these roses did outstanding! Still growing, even now in November after two rounds of frost.
