The 'Zephirine Drouhin' rose has a uniquely strong scent and has been one of the world's most popular climbing roses since its introduction in 1868. A flush of bright pink bloom in both springtime and autumn makes this heirloom French rose a popular choice for the cottage garden.

Four-inch flowers with 30 petals are long lasting, and the canes are thornless. Dark purple foliage matures to dark green for a stunning contrast to the bright blooms.

This climber can cover a porch or trellis, and it can be pruned into a hedge as well. Canes can reach 20 feet in length with five feet of dense foliage and blossoms. 'Zephirine Drouhin' will also thrive in shady conditions, which makes it an outstanding choice for many garden settings. Zones 5-9.
