Paul's Scarlet Climber has been cultivated since its introduction across hot and cold regions worldwide. The flowers are bright crimson, with a scarlet glow at first, then turn slightly purplish and fade to cherry. They appear in clusters of 3–15 on long shoots and tolerate heat and rain. Flowering is abundant. The variety is winter-hardy and disease-resistant, with thick, spiny shoots. Tolerates poor soils and is adaptable to a wide range of conditions.
This winter-hardy, brightly colored rambler is grown in North America and Europe. The flowers are not actually scarlet, but cherry. They are well-shaped, medium-sized (6–7 cm), semi-double, lightly fragrant, and appear in large numbers in medium-sized clusters all summer and early autumn; occasionally 1–2 flowers appear later. The flowers are resistant to rain and heat. The bush is of medium vigor, usually up to 3 m tall.
The British Royal Rose Society refers to this rose as a pleached floribunda, describing its display of large clusters of medium-sized flowers. The blooms consist of about 30 petals of bright red color. Once open they are cup-shaped, with a light honey fragrance. Blooming can be abundant enough that the foliage is largely obscured. There is very little or no repeat flowering. Susceptible to powdery mildew; dry locations should be avoided.
