David Austin The Pilgrim® (Auswalker) English Climbing Rose (6 litre pot)

The Pilgrim® (Auswalker) English Climbing Rose is named after the pilgrims in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales.

Ideal for the front entrance to a house, but suitable for any tall arching structure or a wall, this stunning rose produces large, soft yellow, flat rosette blooms that pale towards the edges.

The flowers have a medium strength Tea / Myrrh fragrance and will appear in abundance in repeat flowering flushes from the end of spring until early winter. Each flush in the summer can last for up to 4 weeks.

As a medium size climber it will reach a height of around 3.75m within the first 3 years making it ideal for growing into a garden arch, obelisk or over a doorway.

Plant into a position of full sun or partial shade and use Mycorrhizal Fungi to help establish roots and encourage good plant health.
