This is the climbing sport of `Old Blush'. The flowers are identical and like the shrub form, it blooms 11 months out of the year. It will grow 20' canes in one season, so be prepared with a sturdy structure! The growth is very vigorous, and it will need to be selectively pruned if you want it to look mannerly. Or you can just let it go for a truly wild look!

I wish mine bloomed that often. It's been pretty disappointing in that respect for me. It's been a vigorous grower but has hardly bloomed for me at all, which I know it should in my climate and conditions (San Antonio, TX). Even in spring, I only get a few scant blooms. This year, I had 3, last year, none. I won't shovel-prune mine because it's serving a function as a privacy screen on a fence, so I have come to appreciate the greenery of it, and not expect anything in the way of blooms from it. I only wish I had chosen another more floriferous rose for the job.
