Climbing rose 'Night Owl'

Climbing Rose ‘Night Owl’ (Rosa ‘Night Owl’). Rosa ‘Night Owl’ is a climbing rose with a mysterious and very distinctive character, standing out with its large, single, deep purplish-black flowers, highlighted by a strongly contrasting golden-yellow stamen heart. This spectacular bloom creates a dramatic effect particularly sought after in contemporary designs and gardens with dark palettes. Its moderate, slightly spicy and fruity fragrance accompanies a generous bloom produced in decorative clusters. Very floriferous and repeat-flowering, it offers a sustained succession of flowers throughout the season.

To plant the climbing rose ‘Night Owl’, choose a suitable exposure: sun. The recommended soil is: rich, deep, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then adapt pruning 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 organize the plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 2.5 m (8 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base to weed, check moisture, and remove damaged parts. Associate 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. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted directly in the ground.
