Rose - Crimson Siluetta

Common Name:
Crimson Siluetta Rose

Description:
Crimson Siluetta is a compact and elegant rambler rose developed for smaller gardens, patios, and container growing. It produces abundant clusters of small, fully double blooms in a rich crimson red, each flower around 4 cm across. Despite being a rambler, it has the rare advantage of repeat flowering, with multiple flushes from early summer through to late autumn. The blooms are lightly fragrant and sit beautifully against dark green, glossy foliage. Known for its upright, flexible canes and few thorns, this rose is easy to train over small arches, trellises, or obelisks. In Melbourne’s climate, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, with excellent resistance to common rose diseases. Crimson Siluetta is an ideal solution for compact spaces, offering bold colour, low maintenance, and graceful form in modern or cottage-style settings.
