Zephirine Drouhin Rose

rose

Nearly Thornless Climbing Rose


The Zephirine Drouhin rose is an old Bourbon rose from 1868. It's one of the best known climbers in the world and for good reasons.

The canes of this rose are very unique. Not only are the canes very flexible for training and have the color of burgundy, which is very beautiful; but they are virtually thornless.

The smooth thornless canes makes it easy, almost a pleasure I should say, to train on arches, pillars or arbors.

This rose is especially wonderful for arches over walkways in more temparate climates, as the canes will grow to 15 feet. Plant one rose on each side of the walkway for a stunning effect, or be adventurous and put up multiple arches in a row. A fantasic look!

The blooms are the color of cerise-pink with a faint white base, and a lovely old-rose fragrance.

And unlike most old garden roses,this rose will repeat bloom all summer long.

Like all climbers it will need a couple of years to really put on a show.It's best to wait a couple of years before pruning the Zhephirine Drouhin climbing rose. It needs time to build flowering canes, so only do a light trim and remove dead and spindly canes. Regular deadheading during the growing season will encourage re-blooms.

The growth is quite vigorous and it's an easy rose to cultivate.

Zones 5-10, height to 15 feet.
