David Hockney

Matthias Meilland told me that David Hockney is one of the most beautiful and best climbers they have ever created. When you see it growing in Southern France in the test garden of Meilland you can only concur with that statement. David Hockney has many old fashioned, very full blooms in light yellow with pink shading towards the edges, totally enchanting. They have a mild to moderate fruity fragrance. Foliage is healthy and extremely disease resistant as it survived the test trials. The test trials mean that the rose is kept for two years with irrigation and good care but after that they have to make it without irrigation, fertilizer, pest and fungicides.

David Hockney grows up to 200/300 cm or 9 feet. So beautiful as an espalier rose, against fences, walls, trellis etc...

Zone 6b to 9b. Reblooms all summer and autumn long. 

I think it's a stunning climber!
