Climbing rose 'Swan Lake'
FamilyRosaceae
The ‘Swan Lake’ rose, an elegant and floriferous climbing rose, captivates with its large, double, pure white flowers, subtly nuanced with cream at the heart, whose turbinate and regular shape is reminiscent of tea roses. The thick petals offer good hold and are relatively rain-resistant, while the light fragrance adds a discreet and refined presence. Very floriferous and recurrent, it produces a generous first flush followed by sustained reblooming throughout the summer. In Quebec conditions (zone 4–5), it generally reaches 2 to 2.5 m depending on winter protection and cane preservation. Its well-structured climbing habit is perfect for medium-sized trellises, arches, and pergolas. Its dark green, dense, and healthy foliage shows good disease tolerance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. The ‘Swan Lake’ rose brings luminosity, verticality, and classic elegance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
