Description
The 'Sympathie' rose, a superb German creation from 1964, remains one of the best climbing roses with red flowers. Its semi-double roses stand out for their intense red and velvety colour and their powerful scent of wild rose, whose pleasant fragrance can be perceived from afar and often wafts through the neighbouring gardens. This rose is highly recurrent, with its flowering period extending from June to September, with sometimes a small break in August. With its rapid and vigorous growth, the plant also bears beautiful dark green and shiny foliage that perfectly enhances the bouquets of red flowers.
This modern climbing rose is perfectly hardy and vigorous. Reaching a height of 3m (10ft) at maturity with a 1m (3ft) spread, it develops quickly and blooms abundantly throughout the summer. It's dense and prickly woody climbing stems bear generous bouquets of semi-double flowers, 9cm (4in) wide, in a bright, deep, and velvety red colour that remains stable under intense sunlight. These flowers also withstand rain very well. The deciduous foliage, composed of large dark green leaflets, is sometimes subject to minor attacks from black spot or powdery mildew without affecting the health of this very floriferous rose.
The 'Sympathie' Rose is perfect for training on a pergola, wall, and column... Consider mixing your climbing roses with clematis, as their flowering period is slightly longer and pairs beautifully with roses. To accompany the red flowers of 'Sympathie', pair it with the Prince Charles clematis or The President with blue flowers. Pairing it with the Miss Bateman clematis, white in colour, reveals a perfect elegance.
'Sympathie' is a creation from the German house Kordes. Since 1887, their slogan "the most beautiful roses in the world" displays their ambitions, and the roses they create live up to their claims. It is worth noting that Kordes has abandoned the use of any plant protection product since 1990!
Kordes creation 1964.

Planting and care
The climbing rose 'Sympathie' prefers sunny locations while being fairly tolerant of partial shade. To plant your rose, prepare your soil by crumbling it well and adding an amendment, such as blood, fish and bone, to the bottom of the planting hole. Water thoroughly after planting to remove any air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root establishment. Spring pruning involves removing a portion of the old branches at the base each year, thus maintaining a framework while rejuvenating your rose. Prune the branches of the year to 3 or 4 buds. Regularly remove faded flowers during the summer to stimulate the development of younger buds. Training a few main branches horizontally during pruning allows for a more abundant flowering. In spring, you can mound soil around the base of the branches to protect the graft point from sun and wind damage.
Roses often have natural stains and blemishes at the end of summer, which don't affect their development.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
