Ramblin Red Climbing Rose
A seedling of Henry Kelsey from Radler of the U.S.-  the creator of “Knock Out”.
Outstanding red, fully double 3-4” flowers born in small clusters on strong, well
thorned canes. Healthy, vigorous burgundy new foliage.
We have grown this rose in our trial gardens for three years now and have found it to
be fairly hardy as a climber. We have had about half of the five foot tall canes
experience dieback the first year- hardly any year two and none last year. If you
wish to have it grow very tall then it will need protection in zones 5 and below. It
makes a great low climber if simply left alone!  
Repeats very well. It has an ARS rating of 7.7.

Things to note about hardiness.

Zone numbers are only a guideline
and there are many things come into
play that make them either higher or
lower. If you are unsure what your
zone is you can check our Canadian
Zone Map  in our planting section.
This will give you a base to go from.
The best thing to do is to find
gardeners growing roses nearby in
your community or find a local
gardening club. The   Canadian Rose
Society  can surely help. Their  
address is in our links page.    
Hardiness doesn't necessarily mean
that the plant will have no winter kill
or dieback over winter, it mostly
means that you should not loose the
plant by dying due to too severe
temperatures. All Explorer roses
bloom on new wood so no matter
how much dieback you might get
you will get blooms on this seasons
wood. Pretty well all the above roses
will have some dieback if planted on
the lowest zone given.
