America Climbing Rose

All-America Rose Selections (AARS) 1976

Introduced in the bicentennial year and immediately named an All-America Rose Selection, America Climbing Rose gloriously exhibits all the best traits of contemporary roses. The fully double blooms are packed with 30 or more petals of deep pink suffused with salmon and coral on the upper surface, lighter tones on the reverse. Redolent of cloves, they fill the garden with a pleasing spice that lingers long after twilight. Strong, quick-growing canes are clothed in dark green foliage, disease-resistant and very attractive. America Climbing Rose is a garden star to be proud of.

America Climbing Rose begins its show with masses of pointed buds, which open to layers of sunset-toned petals. Expect the flowers to reach 4 to 5 inches wide, borne primarily one per stem, but occasionally in a small cluster. Banked by thick, leathery foliage that looks good from spring until hard frost, the blooms appear in waves all season long, perfuming the garden around them and adding stunning color to any sunny setting.

Expect this vigorous America Climbing Rose, very fast-growing climber to reach 10 to 12 feet high and 6 to 8 feet wide. Bred by Bill Warriner from Fragrant Cloud x Tradition, America Climbing Rose comes by its disease-free nature and robust growth honestly. America Climbing Rose pedigree is impeccable, and it surpasses its parents in beauty. A favorite since its 1976 introduction, America Climbing Rose is the climber you want for that place of honor in your garden, to serve as a focal point of color and scent.
