Blaze Improved
Climbing Rose
The most popular Climbing rose. Produces abundant clusters of pure red flowers. Blooms on new and old wood. Proven consistent performer. The rich red flowers, which grow up to 3 inches, and dark green foliage make an extraordinary impression on a white or light background. Just plant and watch it grow!
Growing up to 15 feet high and 8 feet wide and producing thousands of scarlet-red blooms. Ensure it receives minimal amounts of sunshine, water and food and the growth accelerates. In the spring, remove dead wood. For best results, pruning should be undertaken after the first flowering of the spring. Growing with natural abandon, 'Blaze' creates its own trails, meandering sideways along porches, sheds and gardens.
