The Rosa ‘Lady in Red’ climbing rose, with its theatrical and elegant style, stands out for its large, intensely scarlet red flowers with velvety petals that form a full, structured cup. The depth of its color remains stable throughout blooming, offering a powerful visual impact on arches, trellises, and pergolas. The flowers are produced in regular clusters and hold up exceptionally well, even after rain. Its light fragrance accompanies generous and repeat blooming, ensuring a sustained presence throughout the season. Its dense, vigorous dark green foliage creates a striking contrast with the blooms and contributes to its overall good resistance.
