Common name:Cecile Brunner Rose
Botanical name:Rosa 'Cecile Brunner'
This climbing rose can grow as tall as 25 feet with support and in spring appear in mass the lightly fragrant pink flowers that look like tiny, high centered, hybrid tea roses and are attractive in bud and bloom. Plant in full sun and irrigate occasionally. Hardy to zones 4-9. For good reason, it has become one of the most popular roses in cultivation and though it reblooms less than the rarer shrub form, it puts on a strong display in spring. It is long-lived, disease resistant and tolerates everything from poor soil to partial shade.
