More information

Schoolgirl displays a color combination uncommon among large-flowered climbers. The outer petals are pink with a peach reverse, while the inner petals are pale coral with a dark apricot reverse. Long, hybrid-tea–style buds open to double , open blooms with red stamens at the center. The flowers maintain form and color throughout their stages, fading to salmon pink. Blooms are large, slightly double (slightly terry), strongly scented, and most often appear singly at the tips of the shoots. The canes are very spiny; the glossy dark green foliage is susceptible to black spot; the lower parts of the shoots tend to become bare. The variety repeats, but overall bloom production is not heavy.

A very spiny shrub bears large (12 cm), double , fragrant flowers that usually appear singly, in the manner of hybrid tea roses. The color pattern features pink outer petals with a peach reverse and pale coral inner petals with a dark apricot reverse. When fully open, red stamens are visible. The foliage is glossy, dark green, and the bush tends to denude from the base. Flowering is not abundant.

A rather rare upright shrub reaching 3 m with sparse foliage. The flowers are deep apricot with a delicate fragrance. Plant in full sun in a wind-protected location.

Large blooms reach about 10 cm in diameter and have a regular form, abrioso-orange (a coloring rarely seen in a pleached rose). The flowers are strongly fragrant and tolerate rain. The bush is stiff, vigorous, to 3 m; foliage is sparse and the base of the shrub is bare.
