Product Description
There’s nothing quite like the sight of a climbing rose in full flower covering the side of a house, and ‘Blossomtime’ will do that wonderfully!
‘Blossomtime’ is a deciduous, vigorously growing climbing rose that will grow large enough to cover walls, pergolas and fences but won’t take over your garden. Strongly scented, it’s perfect for growing near doors and windows so that its sweet perfume can carry into your home.
The glorious flowers of ‘Blossomtime’ are large and fully double, easily reaching 10cm (4in) across. Unusually, the petals are bright pink on the tops, but their underside is a deeper, richer pink – a beautiful effect that makes this rose incredibly attractive, especially against the background of dark green foliage and thorny stems. Flowering prolifically from May until October for an amazing six months of stunning blooms and delicious fragrance, they’re ideal for cutting too.
Easy to grow and healthy, ‘Blossomtime’ is mildew resistant and will grow quickly whether planted in a large pot or in the ground. It can be easily trained onto a support or wall, or can be left to ramble.
Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready to plant, growing to a height of 4.5m (15ft) and spread of 2.5m (8ft).

Plant Information
Top Tips
- Climbing roses need plenty of support and must be tied as near horizontal as possible on to wires, trellis or similar.
- Newly planted climbing roses need little initial pruning. Thereafter prune in October or November.
Care Guide
- To prune, just remove any dead, dying, damaged and diseased stems and also deadhead regularly.
- Traditionally, you would cut just above a leaf joint with a sloping cut away from the bud, however, this isn't necessary, and don’t worry about pruning too much - roses are very resilient and will grow back.
- When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease.
- Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help the plant establish quicker.
- Roses can be planted at any time of the year, as long as the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or drought-dry.
- Plant your rose where it can get plenty of sun for at least half of the day, and where it will be sheltered from the wind.
- Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, so add plenty of well-rotted manure into the hole if necessary and plant so that the graft union (the swollen area when the stems meet the roots) is around 3cm below soil level.
- Water well every other day - daily if the weather is hot and dry.
- Established roses can be watered around once a week through spring and summer - more if the weather is hot.
- For best results, feed roses in late-March/April and again in late July.
