Rosa Felicite Perpetue (Rambling Rose)

One of the finest ramblers, award-winning Rosa 'Felicite Perpetue' features graceful, relatively thornless, red-green stems clothed in shiny, neat, semi-evergreen foliage. In late spring or early summer, large clusters of strongly scented, rosette-like, creamy-white or blush-pink flowers, packed with layers of petals (over 40 petals) are produced in great quantities. Reliable and disease resistant, this vigorous rambling rose is ideal to train on a wall, fence and suitable for climbing into trees. Excellent rose for a north-facing site.
