Lady Waterlow climbing

Lady Waterlow climbing, Nabonnand 1902

Climbing Hybrid Tea 

A wonderful rose and one of the best climbing Hybrid teas. This rose is ideal for a house façade or a long garden wall. She can become huge with more than 5 meters. She repeats in August.
And then of course her flowers: Double very light pink with darker shading in the middle Hybrid tea flowers with a strong fresh tea scent. In full flush she's unbeatable and unforgettable.
As with all early HT roses she's a bit susceptible to Blackspot but she's extremely mildew and rust resistant and that's essential for roses against walls.
A beautiful example of her is at Mottisfont Abbey. Together with Mme Caroline Testout climbing and Mme Grégoire Staechelin she the best of the old pink HT climbers.
