Climbing Roses
Year: 1983
Height: 10ft
Large salmon pink classic hybrid tea type blooms.
A really lovely rose that has a spectacular show early summer and a steady succession of blooms right through until autumn.
The high centred blooms open gracefully and last quite some while on the plant.
Well furnished with large semi glossy foliage.
A good rose for training up walls, pillars and pergolas etc.
A good rose for cutting as the blooms last very well in water. Delicious fragrance.
Highly Recommended.
Also known as 'Emannuelle'

Prune
Sept – Nov: Prune after the flowers start to fade. First remove dead, diseased or dying branches.
Tie in any new shoots and remove any really old branches if the plant is heavily congested - this will stimulate new growth.
Prune side branches growing from the main framework, cutting them back to leave two to three leaf buds.
Due about 10 years ago:
Feed
Feb – Mar: Top dress ... apply granular rose food in late winter / early spring each year.
Prune
Mar: Prune ... hybrid teas are pruned low to promote vigorous new shoots.
To start with, cut out dead, diseased, rubbing and crossing stems. If the bush is crowded cut out some old shoots completely to keep the centre open.
Then
Shorten back the strongest remaining shoots to four to six buds 10-15cm (4-6in) from the base, to the point where last year’s growth began Cut just above a bud pointing in the direction you want the new growth.
Shorten back less vigorous shoots to two to four buds 5-10cm (2-4in) from the base
Cut out all three year old wood, leaving only younger more vigorous growths, which produce better flowers
