Type

Family
Rosaceae

The Rosa ‘Cécile Brunner’, an old climbing rose with delicate charm, is renowned for its small, perfect button-shaped double pink flowers, often compared to mini antique roses. Produced in abundant clusters, they create a airy and romantic effect particularly sought after on pergolas, arches, and facades. Its light and fresh fragrance accompanies a generous bloom, with a spectacular first flush followed by lighter reblooms depending on conditions. Unlike large-flowflowered climbers, it offers a multitude of small, tightly packed roses that give a dense and refined appearance. Its medium green foliage, supple and vigorous, contributes to its natural look and good adaptability. The Rosa ‘Cécile Brunner’ brings softness, timeless elegance, and floral abundance to vertical landscaping while actively attracting pollinating insects.
