Common name:Climbing Rose
Botanical name:Rosa x spp (Climbers)

Climbing roses are a delightful way to add vertical color and interest to a garden. Not true vines, but rather brambles that need to be supported to grow along walls, fences, arbors, or other sturdy structures. Most rose types have climbers within their group; some hybrid teas are available as both shrub and climber (Peace Rose comes to mind).
