Climbing rose 'Tropical Lightning'
FamilyRosaceae
Rosa 'Tropical Lightning' is a spectacular climbing rose with an exotic character, distinguished by its large, double, bright yellow flowers splashed and striped with scarlet red, each flower presenting a unique pattern. This flamboyant variegation creates a striking visual effect on sunny pergolas, trellises, and arches. The thick, well-formed petals offer good hold, while the light fragrance accompanies abundant, recurrent flowering throughout the summer. Its vigorous, well-branched climbing habit allows for rapid coverage of vertical structures while maintaining a dense and structured silhouette. Its dark green, glossy, and resistant foliage highlights the spectacular contrast of the flowers and shows good disease tolerance in rich, deep, well-drained soil. Rosa 'Tropical Lightning' brings vibrant color, originality, and verticality to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
