Twisting and twirling, the ruffled double blooms on the ‘Pirouette’ climbing rose from Whartons Roses, will dance through to autumn, creating classically elegant and long-lasting displays to admire.
The mix of soft pink and apricot hues on each rose creates a mesmerising display, when coupled with its wonderful fragrance, is a treat for the senses. This rose grows masses of blooms that repeat flower through from summer into autumn.
You will want to enjoy this rose as a central feature and it makes a wonderful choice for growing as a pillar rose, adding height to garden designs. It also looks wonderful cascading from an arbor or trellis. With its elegant and blousy blooms, coupled with a compact neat shape, this rose also suits a range of garden styles from city and courtyard gardens to informal cottage gardens adding a range of ornamental interest to enjoy.
This low-maintenance climbing rose is easy to grow, 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.
