Rosa 'Stormy Weather', a climbing rose with a dramatic character, stands out for its large, deep purple-violet semi-double flowers, subtly shaded with plum, whose hue intensifies in cool weather. The marked contrast between the wavy petals and golden stamens brings a much sought-after luminous dimension to contemporary designs. Its powerful, rich, and sweet fragrance makes it an ideal variety near living areas. Very floriferous and generously remontant, it offers abundant bouquets throughout the season. Its dark green, dense, and particularly resistant foliage is one of its great assets, ensuring excellent durability and good disease tolerance. Rosa 'Stormy Weather' brings depth of color, marked fragrance, and striking visual impact to trellises and pergolas.
