Description

A vigorous climber with rich green foliage on nearly thorn-free slender branches. Lightly fragrant, miniature, white, double blooms are quite profuse. Bursts into bloom in spring to early summer; does not repeat bloom. Evergreen in milder climates. A fine climber for arbors, reaching 15'-20 tall with support. A beautiful sight billowing over a roof, fence or sturdy arbor, this rose thrives with full sun and room to run. Long canes should be secured so that they are not damaged or broken. Grows easily in average to enriched, evenly moist, well-drained soils. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency, once established. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer. Provide support such as a trellis or arbor. Blooms on old wood; prune just after flowering.
