Climbing rose 'America'

Latin name
Rosa 'America'
Common name
Climbing rose 'America'
Type
Flowering shrub
Family
Rosaceae

Rosa 'America', a classic and very fragrant climbing rose, is distinguished by its large, semi-double to double, luminous coral pink flowers with salmon highlights, whose warm hue intensifies as they bloom. The slightly wavy petals highlight a pronounced, rich and fruity fragrance, particularly appreciated near relaxation areas. Its flowering is generous and repeat-blooming, produced in clusters that elegantly adorn pergolas, arches, and trellises. Unlike climbers with cool tones, it brings a vibrant and constant warmth to vertical landscaping. Its dark green, vigorous and dense foliage contributes to good overall resistance and creates a harmonious contrast with the coral's luminosity. Rosa 'America' offers a remarkable balance of fragrance, color, and vigor, while actively attracting pollinating insects.
