More information

Wenlock is an English rose that forms a compact, tidy shrub in the cold climate of England, but in hot conditions behaves as a climbing rose. The blooms are densely petalled, crimson, sometimes showing white streaks at the center. They appear singly or in small clusters (usually 3–5 pcs) on short shoots and later set large hips. Prompt removal of spent blooms stimulates reblooming; in favourable conditions, it can flower almost continuously. As they age, the blooms fade to cherry-pink. The pedicels are weak, so the flowers droop and are susceptible to rain damage. The foliage is large, dark, and prone to black spot. The shoots are very prickly, reaching up to 3 metres in hot climates. In cold climates, the shrub is branched and erect.
