Latin name
Rosa 'Purple Splash'
Common name
Climbing rose 'Purple Splash'
Type
Flowering shrub
Family
Rosaceae

The Rosa ‘Purple Splash’, a climbing rose with a bold and highly distinctive character, immediately catches the eye with its semi-double magenta-purple flowers splashed and striped with white, each flower presenting a unique pattern. This contrasting variegation creates a spectacular artistic effect on arches, trellises, and pergolas. The slightly wavy petals highlight a visible heart of golden stamens, particularly attractive to pollinators. Its light fragrance accompanies an abundant and recurrent bloom, produced in decorative clusters throughout the season. Unlike climbers with uniform hues, it offers a dynamic and contemporary visual impact. Its vigorous and healthy dark green foliage contributes to good overall resistance and enhances the intensity of the color. The Rosa ‘Purple Splash’ brings originality, contrast, and vertical energy to the garden while actively attracting pollinating insects.
