Dancing butterflies

Dancing butterflies, Verschuren & Zonen 2002

Large flowering modern climber 

Parentage unknown 

Soft pink to apricot, double, rather large flowers in small clusters. Quite big blooms with a nice fresh fragrance. The lightest wind makes the petals move like butterflies 🦋, very magical. 

Blooms for a very long time way into September. Can get quite tall, up to 6 meters or 18 feet but can kept smaller. Not as vigorous as many ramblers but a soft rambling rose. Extremely healthy foliage. Zone 6b to 9b, rain and drought tolerant.

Deserves much more attention especially in the Netherlands and Flanders 

Recommended variety
