All-America Rose Selections (AARS) Winner 1976
A classic returns. Adored since its 1976 introduction, when America Climbing Rose won All-America Rose Selections honors, this large-flowered climber erupts in bloom all summer and into fall on tough, hardy vines that quickly reach 10 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide.
And what blooms they are, too. America Climbing Rose is fully double, bursting with 30 to 35 petals each and opening from lovely pointed buds, the 4- to 5-inch, old-fashioned flowers are a luscious pink suffused with salmon and coral, with lighter tones on the petal reverse. Best of all, the flowers have a strong, spicy clove scent.
The very disease-resistant America Climbing Rose is attractive even when out of bloom. America Climbing Rose covers itself with healthy dark green leaves that provide a wonderful backdrop to the gorgeous fragrant blooms. There's no better way to bring easy, long-lasting color and fragrance to all your trellises, arbors, walls, and fences than with this award-winning, timeless classic.
Bred by American hybridizer Bill Warriner, America is a cross of R. Fragrant Cloud x Tradition. Plant this climbing rose in full sun in moist, well-drained soil.
