Our climbing rose in the display bed by our main greenhouse has exploded in blossoms this past week. It is awesome! Almost every customer who comes in remarks about it. The one photo shows the May Night Salvia blossoming in front, with Miscanthus Flame Grass behind the Salvia. One of our new mulches this year – Autumn Blaze Mulch is shown in the photo as well.
The Henry Kelsey Rose is in the Explorer Series of roses that were named after the trailblazers of the Canadian wild. The early breeding of these roses took place in Ottawa, Canada. The Explorer Series offer gardeners the perfect combination of salt tolerance, disease resistance, extreme hardiness and repeat blooming. This rose has long limber canes which makes it a wonderful climbing rose. It offers a rich spicy fragrance. It will reach a height of 6′-7′. As you can tell – it offers vivid red flowers!
