The ‘Galway Bay’ climbing rose from Whartons Roses is an excellent choice for adding vertical interest to garden designs. With masses of large salmon-pink, perfectly formed roses cascading down the length of this elegant and beautiful climber.
In addition to its beautiful flowers, this rose has a wonderful scent and dark green glossy foliage that perfectly accentuates and contrasts with the vibrancy of the blooms. It also has a neat and tidy growth habit making it a low maintenance rose to enjoy.
Try adding it to wall side borders, or let it meander through large garden structures such as archways, pergolas and fences to create magnificent garden focal points. The ‘Galway Bay’ rose also works well as a cut rose to enjoy its wonderful blooms and fragrance around the home. It suits a wide range of garden styles, but we love it as part of an informal cottage garden theme, adding to the classic aesthetic.
This low-maintenance and reliable climbing rose will grow well with minimal care, but to get the best blooms plant it with some soil improver or well-rotted manure, and add a sprinkling of Mycorrhizal Fungi to encourage strong root growth. Position your rose in a sunny spot, in moist but well-drained soil. You will then enjoy many years of magnificent floral displays and reliable growth.
