I ve planted eight plants along the front fence of our side yard. I ll train them into the fence. Climber or pillar rose of medium vigour only up to 10 ft. Blooms profusely in mid to late June with little recurrence, the later flowering being better if it is only pruned very lightly after first flowering. One of the most popular roses for many years and still widely grown but in colour it is now superseded by others with stronger, clearer red with practically no tinge of purplish-blue in the red.
Some stocks seem to have deteriorated in vigour in recent years.
