7 climbing roses with red flowers

The 'Grand Huit' rose, an exceptional climber

The ‘Grand Huit’ rose stands out as an exceptional climbing rose, with its large turbinate flowers of deep red that are highly fragrant. It offers a generous flowering period from May to October, covering itself with double roses measuring 10 to 12 cm in diameter, exuding a heady and fruity scent. The roses bloom against a backdrop of dark green, satin-like foliage, where the young shoots can be distinguished by their purplish hue.

The ‘Grand Huit’ rose sends forth its long, flexible and thorny stems up to a height of 2 to 3 metres. Vigorous and resistant to diseases, it beautifully adorns a wall, facade, or support with a multitude of wonderfully fragrant red roses.

The rose 'Etoile de Hollande', a spectacular rose

The ‘Etoile de Hollande’ rose is also a delightful climber, boasting numerous advantages, to the extent that it has been awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society in England. It is covered in scarlet red flowers and fills the air with its powerful fragrance, blooming early from May to September. The large, double, velvety roses open majestically into a multitude of petals surrounding a heart of yellow stamens. This is a stunning rose that deserves care, as its glossy dark green foliage can show some sensitivity to diseases.

With its long, flexible stems, it can reach a height of 5 metres. To fully enjoy its powerful fragrance, consider placing it near a window, entrance, or on a pergola.

The roses, measuring 8 cm in diameter, are beautifully complemented by the glossy green foliage that frames them. They diffuse a light scent of wild rose into the air, adding to their charm.

The ‘Amadeus’ rose can reach a height of 3 metres with a spread of 1 metre. It demonstrates good resistance to diseases and was awarded the Bagatelle merit certificate in 2004.

The rose 'That's Jazz', a rose covered in flowers from top to bottom.

The ‘That’s Jazz’ rose has the quality of flowering from top to bottom, throughout the bush, making it a very decorative rose without the drawback of having a bare base. Between June and October, it is covered in dark red, velvety double roses. Measuring 10 to 12 cm across, the flowers appear against a backdrop of glossy dark green foliage and emit a light fragrance.

Its flexible stems sometimes bear decorative reddish prickles and can grow up to 3 metres high. Plant it against a wall or fence and pair it with a mock orange or a viburnum.

The 'Red Eden Rose', the charm of old roses

The ‘Red Eden Rose’ climbing rose is a declinate version in a purplish-red of the famous climbing rose Pierre de Ronsard, which produces light pink flowers. It is a creation of the rose breeder Meilland, combining the beauty of old roses with the resilience and abundant flowering of modern roses. Between June and October, it offers double, globular roses 10 cm wide, with a light fragrance and petals beautifully arranged in velvety quarters.

It can reach a height of 2 metres and bears rather stiff, thorny stems, adorned with medium green foliage that is quite resistant to diseases. To get the best out of it, plant it in full sun along a wall or fence, for example alongside a lovely white or blue clematis.

The rose 'Guinée', a sumptuous colour and fragrance

The ‘Guinée’ rose exudes charm, with its satin red roses edged with black reflections, and its enchanting scent of old rose. In a garden, during the summer flowering in June and July, it captures attention with its richly petalled flowers opening to a heart of golden stamens. It offers a second flowering in September, which may be more irregular than that of summer. Erect on solitary stems, the roses are stunning arranged in a bouquet in a vase.

The ‘Guinée’ rose grows up to a height of 4 metres and has moderately vigorous foliage, sensitive to diseases and severe cold. This sumptuous rose is therefore best grown in a mild climate and requires care if one wishes to see it thrive in optimal conditions.

The ‘Sympathie’ rose is a climbing bush reaching 3 metres, adorned with intensely red and velvety flowers from June to July, and again in September. The semi-double roses, measuring 9 cm across, fill the air with intense fragrances reminiscent of old roses. Their bright red colour withstands both rain and sun, beautifully contrasting with the dark, glossy green of the foliage.
It is a highly floriferous rose, robust, cold-resistant, and not very susceptible to diseases.
