Add sunshine, vibrant colour to your garden displays, with the stunning ‘Sommergold’ climbing rose from Whartons Roses. With fruity fragrant, lemon-yellow blooms covering this climber, it is a great choice for creating displays that dazzle.
This wonderful repeat flowering climbing rose starts blooming in early summer and continues through to autumn. It also has beautiful glossy green foliage which provides interest to admire when the roses are not yet in bloom and creates a frame for the flowers when they are in bloom.
The ‘Sommergold’ climbing rose is a versatile choice which can be grown in several positions around the garden. From large pots and containers on a patio or balcony area, making the most of its compact growth, to wall side flower beds and along fences, this wonderful rose will turn the mundane into the memorable. It also makes a wonderful cut flower to enjoy in elegant floral displays around the home.
Try growing it in a small city and courtyard garden or add elevated appeal to informal cottage gardens with this wonderful rose. It will add vibrant, vertical interest to admire and has the added benefit of being a great way to attract bees and other pollinators into your outdoor space.
This reliable 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.
