Description
Snazzy and extrovert are words that spring to mind when describing this exciting climbing rose.
The 'Rosemary Day' rose boasts healthy foliage in a deep olive green colour. And the profusion of leaves means the plants provide dense coverage.
Easily the main attraction of 'Rosemary Day' is the flower. As buds begin to open, the petals curl inwards, and appear to be coral pink in colour.
Then, as the stamens are revealed and the petals unfold, we are treated to intriguing flower markings – splashes and stripes of scarlet, carmine and silver.
This rose exudes personality and character as the shades and markings evolve and change. It is also a great example of a rose for attracting beneficial insects.
Growing up to 2 metres tall and almost as wide, it is a great choice for covering a bare fence or wall.
Rosemary Day was a passionate plants woman and a member of the Board of Plant Heritage. She took great pride in both her garden in Chiswick and her allotment.
Supplied as a bare root ready for planting.
