Rose - Blushing Pierre de Ronsard

Common Name:
Blushing Pierre de Ronsard Rose

Description:
The Blushing Pierre de Ronsard Rose (Rosa ‘Blushing Pierre de Ronsard’) is a stunning climbing rose, admired for its large, fully double, old-fashioned blooms in soft blush pink with creamy white outer petals. A sport of the beloved Pierre de Ronsard, this variety offers the same romantic, vintage charm with a paler, more delicate colouring. This repeat-flowering variety blooms from spring through autumn, making it perfect for walls, arches, pergolas, and trellises. With its strong, upright growth habit and lush dark green foliage, Blushing Pierre de Ronsard thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring full sun and well-drained soil. It has excellent disease resistance and benefits from regular feeding, watering, and light pruning to encourage continuous flowering.
