Climbing rose 'Crimson Cascade'

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

Rosa 'Crimson Cascade', a climbing rose with a cascading habit and abundant blooms, is distinguished by its small, double, intense crimson flowers produced in profuse clusters. Its naturally flexible habit creates a spectacular cascading effect when trained on a low wall or arch, or grown in a hanging basket. Unlike large-flowered climbing roses that produce individual blooms, this rose offers a dense profusion of small roses that literally cover the plant during peak flowering. Lightly scented, it is particularly notable for its ability to rebloom generously and for its sustained visual impact. Its dark green, fine, healthy foliage enhances the depth of the red while contributing to good overall resistance. Rosa 'Crimson Cascade' brings movement, intensity, and floral abundance to vertical or cascading arrangements, while actively attracting pollinating insects.
