Description
Climbing roses are vigorous, woody perennial vines that produce an abundance of fragrant blooms throughout the growing season. Unlike traditional bush roses, they develop long, flexible canes that can be trained on trellises, arbors, and fences, reaching heights of 8-20 feet depending on variety. Flowers range from classic hybrid tea forms to clustered blooms in nearly every color except true blue, with many varieties offering repeat flowering.
