More information

William Booth, introduced in 1999, is a hardy, spreading shrub reaching about 1.5 m tall and 3 m wide. It blooms from June to September and is very resistant to diseases. Buds are dark red; flowers open red and then fade to light red. Blooms are about 5 cm in diameter, single, and borne in clusters of 8–10. Cuttings root easily.

New shoots emerge from the base and bear tassels of slightly cupped, non-wavy cherry-red flowers with a white centre. Flowers appear in large numbers up to the first frost. Petals often curve inward. The foliage of this climbing rose is dark green. In the second half of summer, black spotting is possible. Produces many hips; to increase the number of blooms, remove spent flowers.
