These gorgeous climbing roses have small clusters of mid pink, medium-large, cupped rosettes. They give off a heavenly, sweet smell of myrrh and heather honey. The branches are covered in glossy, dark leaves that is a perfect backdrop to the pink buds.
They can grow up to 10 feet high as a climber and work well in zones 5 to 9. Wouldn’t these be stunning for a backyard wedding? Simply beautiful.

Got a bouquet of roses you really loved? You can keep on enjoying them, by cutting the stem, inserting them in a potato and planting them!
This is a great way to get more use out of the flowers, and it’s surprisingly easy to do. First, cut the stem at an angle just below the lowest flower. Then, cut a potato in half lengthwise, and score the flesh lightly with a knife. Insert the stem into the potato so that the cut end is buried. Finally, plant the potato in a pot or directly in the ground, making sure that the top of the potato is level with or slightly above the soil surface.
Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and in a few weeks you should see new growth emerging from the potato. Once your roses are established, they can be treated like any other potted plant. Enjoy your beautiful blooms!
Love these roses and catmint together! A knockout combo!!
