Rose 'Quicksilver'

Description:
Rose 'Quicksilver' is a captivating climbing rose celebrated for its unique, silvery-lilac blooms and vigorous growth. A modern variety bred for both beauty and resilience, 'Quicksilver' combines old-world charm with contemporary performance. The flowers are fully double and richly scented, blooming in generous flushes from late spring through to autumn. This variety is especially prized for its romantic colour and soft, ruffled petals that resemble English roses.
