Opaline
Large flowered climber
Parents unknown
Big, semi double, Apricot /pink and peach flowers in great abundance, that's Coraline. Popular in France till this day and also in other European countries she's not rare to find.
It's a typical climber of its age with semi double, large blooms which keep several days. Hélas, they are almost scentless but the blooms and overall effect is stunning.
Makes a strong, vigorous shrub or climber up to 300 cm or 9 feet. Foliage is very healthy. Blooms are rain and heat resistant and she can take some shade. Zone 6b to 10b
A climber from the Disco era, the seventies, when the most ugly roses were created. Coraline is an exception, with her big, pastel colored flowers she enchants your garden all summer long and a big piece into autumn.
If you don't mind the lack of fragrance then Coraline is is your rose!
