Type

Family
Rosaceae

Rosa ‘Dublin Bay’, a climbing rose with a classic style and spectacular blooms, stands out for its large, double, intense scarlet-red flowers, whose hue remains stable and bright throughout their blooming period. The thick, velvety petals form a full, well-structured flower, produced in generous clusters that create a dense and refined effect on arches and pergolas. Lightly fragrant, it primarily captivates with the consistent quality of its blooms and its powerful visual impact. Highly floriferous and with excellent remontancy, it ensures a sustained presence throughout the season. Its vigorous and healthy dark green foliage contributes to good disease resistance and enhances the intensity of the red. Rosa ‘Dublin Bay’ brings elegance, structure, and chromatic depth to vertical landscaping while actively attracting pollinating insects.
