'Alaska' Climbing Rose
- A fast growing climbing rose with very large clusters of creamy white flowers with a pink edge and a light fragrance
- Best for walls, trellises, pergolas and arbours and great for disguising unsightly structures
- Grow in any well-drained, fertile soil in full sun and feed twice a year with a rose fertiliser. Deadhead your roses for repeat flowering throughout the summer
- Strong, compact and easily managed
- Proudly grown in the UK
- Climbing roses have large or clustering flowers on vigorous twining stems that can reach 6m in height - the classic ‘roses around the door’! They grow quickly, bloom in summer and autumn and most are fragranced. They need training when young by using supports and benefit from regular pruning
- Depending on the time of year, your rose may have been professionally hard-pruned by our growers to ensure its long term health and strength
