Zephirine Drouhin Climbing Rose 1 Live Plant, 2 Gallon Pot – Rosa ‘Zéphirine Drouhin’

Zephirine Drouhin Climbing Rose (Rosa ‘Zéphirine Drouhin’) is a classic Bourbon rose admired for its richly fragrant, deep pink flowers and nearly thornless canes. Its flexible stems can be trained along trellises, arbors, fences, and other garden supports, while its naturally arching growth also allows it to develop a spreading shrub-like form when left unsupported. This historic rose is especially valued for its colorful flowers and distinctive old-fashioned fragrance.

The flowers open in bright reddish-pink tones and develop a deeper rose-pink appearance as they mature. Their loosely cupped, semi-double to double form gives them a traditional garden-rose character. The blossoms have a pronounced, sweet Bourbon rose fragrance and are suitable for cutting. Flowering is typically strongest in late spring to early summer, with additional blooms possible later in the growing season under favorable conditions.

Zephirine Drouhin grows best in fertile, well-drained soil with moderate, consistent moisture. Full sun generally supports abundant flowering, although this rose is also known for tolerating partial shade better than many other climbing roses. Its nearly thornless canes make it a practical choice for ornamental garden supports and locations where a fragrant flowering rose is desired. As a deciduous plant, it may lose its foliage and become dormant during winter.
