Did you know
- Climbing roses do not actually climb by twining or producing tendrils; they produce long canes that must be manually tied to supports.
- The famous New Dawn rose, introduced in 1930, was the first plant ever to be patented in the United States.
- Some climbing rose varieties can grow new canes up to 20 feet in a single growing season.
- Training climbing rose canes horizontally actually encourages more blooms, as flowers form along the entire length of the cane.
- The oldest known living rose, over 1,000 years old, is a climbing rose on the wall of Hildesheim Cathedral in Germany.
