American beauty climbing

American beauty climbing, Hoopes Bro, Thomas & Co 1906

Wichuraiana rambler 

Parentage:

R. Wichuraiana Crép synonym X Marion Dingee
Pollen: American beauty, Hybrid Perpetual Lédéchaux

Rather large, semi double, carmine pink to deep pink flowers with a good fragrance. Borne mostly solitary or in small clusters.

One of the largest flowered Wichuraiana Ramblers and it does repeat a little bit later in the season. 
Strong, vigorous growth up to 500 cm 15 feet. Ideal for fences, pergola's, arches, big obelisks and even small old trees.

Zone 5b to 9b, can take shade and is rain tolerant. Health overall is good.

A rose which is rather unknown in Europe but quite popular in the USA. Apparently the pollen parent from Lédéchaux, American beauty, is identical to Ulrich brunner fils. 

Great colorful fushia display in early summer
