This rose is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
"The thornless rose championed as a climber -which it rarely manages - but better as bright pink ground cover"

In a pot. Perhaps pot is too small. Bought to climb my pergola but growth very slow

Disappointed that I only had one blush of roses but they were lovely so I'm not giving up!

First rose I've planted and overjoyed how it kept on flowering. Wonderful perfume. Think this may well be the star of the garden ...

We planted the rose in a large pot in the corner of a raised patio and encouraged it to spread upwards onto a trellis. We were very surprised how quickly it settled down and began its growth while displaying a number if brightly coloured roses to enliven a shaded corner of the patio. However (in December) the leaves are now covered in black spot which will probably over-winter despite being treated with a recommended spray. We hope that the new growth next year will not have been infected. One small niggle - the plant arrived with no planting advice or even a photo of it in full splendour. This would have been very useful for our file of purchased plants so we can keep a record of when we planted them and how they should appear. All we had was a small tag tied to the plant with its name. Fortunately we found a photo of the rose on the internet which we printed and keep in our file.

I bought this rose as a remembrance rose for a relative, she lives some distance away but sent me a photo of it when in bloom, she is very pleased with it

A wonderful thorn less shrub rose that has everything, especially good if you want it to climb over an arch or trellis.

Climbing roses do not do well in pots I'm afraid, so I would advise planting it straight into the ground - even if you have to lift a paving slab (or two!).

These plants are fully hardy (and will grow outside throughout the year), so I would water them well and keep them in the garden until you can plant them.

Hello, Thorny stems really help a rose to climb as they actually hook the stems onto a support. This rose would be ideal for you though, but you will probably need to tie the stems onto a support.

Hello there Rosa 'Zéphirine Drouhin' is deciduous so the leaves will die and drop in the autumn, all part of it's natural cycle and the plant will be dormant throughout the winter months. You may have a few yellow leaves left on the plant but generally these are soon blown off during the winter. Hope this helps.

Hello there I would plant them if possible about 90cm apart, you could plant a bit closer if you need to, but because roses are thirsty plants you don't want the climbers competing for the water and nutrients. Then train the clematis stems towards the rose with canes and twine. Hope this helps.

Mature roses are generally pruned in early February, after the worst of the winter is over, using good secateurs like Felco no 2's or 6's. Pruning, just like planting, must only be done in good weather. Generally floribundas are cut back to 45cm.
