Description
The ‘America’ rose, introduced in the bicentennial year and an All-America Rose Selection winner, is celebrated for its beautiful climbing habit and striking flowers. It features fully double blooms, with 30 or more petals of deep pink mixed with salmon and coral shades on the upper surface, becoming lighter on the reverse. The flowers exude a pleasing clove fragrance, contributing to a garden filled with spicy scents that linger. This rose is noted for its strong, quick-growing canes covered in dark green, disease-resistant foliage, making it both a visually and aromatically appealing addition to any garden.
The ‘America’ rose blooms profusely in waves throughout the season, with each flower reaching 4 to 5 inches in width, typically borne one per stem or occasionally in small clusters. This vigorous climber is expected to reach heights of 10 to 12 feet and a spread of 6 to 8 feet, thriving in zones 6 to 9. It stands out for its disease resistance, robust growth, and the pedigree of being bred from Fragrant Cloud x Tradition, surpassing its parents in beauty. Ideal for sunny settings, this rose adds stunning color and fragrance, serving as a focal point in any garden
