Rosa 'Rambling Rosie' - Rambling Rose

The 'Rambling Rosie' climbing rose, not very tall but incredibly generous, is covered in large clusters of countless small double flowers with a bright crimson red and white eye. And the radiant spectacle of its flowering is repeated tirelessly from June to October, much to the gardener's delight. It is perfectly highlighted by its small leaves of a beautiful, vibrant green, shiny, which remain attractive throughout the season. This small climbing rose with an open habit is a plant full of life, easy to grow even in poor soil, and versatile. It can also be trained as a large bush according to the preferences of each gardener.

The Rambling Rosie rose is a creation by Horner introduced in 2005, it has been awarded by the R.H.S in England for its ornamental qualities and performance in the garden. This horticultural hybrid belongs to the family of floribunda roses, whose flowers are gathered in bouquets. Its growth is fast; it develops long, erect, woody climbing stems, green and more or less covered with sharp and reddish prickles, flexible enough to be trained. This variety shows a slightly bushy habit, easily reaching a height of 2.75 m (9ft) with a minimum span of 1.75 m (6ft). Its long stems are covered with glossy and tough foliage, divided into small dentate leaflets, resistant to rose diseases under good growing conditions. The countless small, hardly double rosettes of 'Rambling Rosie', measuring 2.5 to 3 cm (1in) wide, appear in June-July and renew themselves for three months. They emerge on short shoots from the second year in clusters of several tens of buds. Their colour is an intense red, which contrasts beautifully with the pure white throat of the flower. Dazzling, they are unfortunately almost devoid of fragrance.

'Rambling Rosie' is a strikingly charming rose that radiates under the sun and attracts all eyes in the garden. It will be planted solely for its robustness and floribundity. Like other climbers, it is incomparable for adorning a gate, fences, and small pergolas, but it can also be used as a bush by regularly pruning it to encourage branching and limit its height. Its red flowering pairs well with the 'Prince Charles' clematis, blue, or Miss Bateman, with white flowers. It is an ideal companion for dead trees that it will revive or shed, adding great charm. Trained on an arch, installed on an unsightly fence or a somewhat austere shed, it dresses up any setting without demanding much effort from the one who planted it.
