Description

James Galway Climbing Rose is a superb English climbing rose, prized for its exceptionally beautiful, deeply cupped pink blooms and outstanding fragrance. The flowers are a soft medium pink, deeper in the center, with a rich, old-rose scent. It is a very healthy, vigorous, and reliable repeat-blooming climber with an upright, manageable habit. Its thornless stems and exquisite, fragrant flowers make it a favorite for cutting and training near seating areas.

Exquisitely Formed Pink Blooms: Features large, deeply cupped, rosette-shaped flowers in a beautiful soft pink with a richer pink center.
Outstrong Old-Rose Fragrance: The blooms carry an intense, delicious, classic rose fragrance.
Excellent Repeat Bloom & Health: A reliable rebloomer with very good disease resistance and vigorous growth.
Nearly Thornless Canes: The stems are remarkably smooth, making it a pleasure to handle, prune, and train.
Upright & Manageable Habit: Grows with a more upright, less sprawling habit than some climbers, making it ideal for pillars and narrow spaces.

'James Galway' (climber) tends to have a slightly more upright habit, slightly larger blooms, and is nearly thornless.
