Fritz Nobis

Fritz Nobis, Kordes 1940
Modern Climber 
Johanna Hill X Rosa Rugibinosa 

Fritz Nobis can be grown as a big shrub or as a good climber. In full flush this rose is a real sight to behold

Masses of big, light pink, flat, semi double flowers in small clusters appear each early summer and they keep opening for four weeks depending on the temperature. They have a delicious clove fragrance. 
Fritz Nobis is once blooming but this makes her extremely healthy and vigorous. If grown as a shrub she needs space so as a solitair she's perfect and as a hedge is also a good option. Very beautiful is she when she can climb on an arch or pergola. She can reach 250X200 cm or 11X9 feet or a bit more
Rain and shade tolerant this rose isn't fuzzy or high in demand. Don't prune the first three years, after that you can prune a bit to keep her in check but best is to let her do her own thing 
Fritz stood in my parents garden for 25 years next to Nevada and Margaret Hilling and each year it was a hedge in full color.
A very good and reliable care free rose
