Rosa Debutante (Rambling Rose)
Rosa ‘Debutante’ is a charming rambler rose with large sprays of small, double, cup-shaped, rose-pink flowers eventually fading to blush. Pleasantly primrose scented, each delicate rosette is packed with 17-25 petals which gracefully reflex back. The long, flexible canes of this rambling rose are clothed with healthy, glossy, dark green leaves, and easy to train.
