With improved disease resistance and a vigorous, reliable growth habit, it’s a strong choice for gardeners who want classic rose beauty with a more modern, low-fuss performance profile.
Care
Rise Up Lilac Days™ Climbing Rose Care
Plant in full sun for best flowering and overall health. Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sun daily.
Use well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly after planting until established, then maintain consistent moisture without allowing the soil to stay soggy.
A spring application of slow release fertilizer supports strong growth and repeat blooming.
Prune in early spring to shape the plant and remove winter damage. Tie or train canes onto a support to encourage vertical growth and improved flowering along the stems.
