✂️ Maintenance
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a balanced structure and encourage dense branching. This climbing rose requires very little maintenance once established and offers abundant, delicately scented blooms throughout the summer season.
Water generously during the first year after planting to encourage deep rooting, then gradually reduce. Remarkably hardy and with excellent disease resistance, this rose is perfectly suited for Canadian gardens with minimal maintenance and reliable performance year after year.
