Climbing Rose 'Kiss Me Kate' (Rosa ‘Kiss Me Kate’). Rosa 'Kiss Me Kate', a climbing rose with romantic charm and a remarkable fragrance, stands out for its large, very double, soft pink flowers with delicately powdery nuances. The thick, elegantly arranged petals form full, old-fashioned rosettes, while maintaining excellent hold and good weather resistance. Its intense, rich, and fruity fragrance is one of its major assets, particularly appreciated near relaxation areas. Very floriferous and repeat-flowering, it produces generous bouquets that elegantly adorn arches and pergolas.

To plant the climbing rose 'Kiss Me Kate', choose a suitable exposure: sun. The recommended soil is: rich, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then prune according to the rose group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain after planting. During recovery, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.5 m (5 ft) to plan the placement of this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 2.5 m (8 ft) helps to choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
