Magic Ramblers That Repeat!

This special selection of beauties will flower for several months

Ramblers are among the largest and most floriferous roses out there. In June and July they can become so smothered in clusters of blooms that their foliage is barely visible. Several of them are scented and there’s a wide range of sizes and varieties in many colours, but they have a downside.

Unlike floribunda, climbing, English or HT roses, ramblers only flower for four to six weeks a year. This always felt like a bit of a let down to me – a huge plant that, although spectacular, only musters a short show.
