This is one of my favorite roses

I planted my Altissimo rose 50 years ago at my previous home. It’s a real show stopper. In 2022 I decided to plant this rose in my new yard but I wasn’t able to find it anywhere. I was so happy when I was notified it is now available. I am looking forward to my first blooms!

Great Rose Hips!

Although I currently don’t have this rose (I have moved from where I grew it) I wanted to leave a review that mentions the rose hips! This rose grows fabulously large decorative rose hips in the winter. I would leave on the last flush of flowers in the late summer and the orange rose hips would form. Very decorative in the early winter garden. Oh - and then I agree with all the other comments about the lovely, large red single blooms. Very eye-catching!

Easy and Prolific

I bought two Altissimo climbers several years ago. I built a redwood trellis for them to climb to hide the long side of my shed which I use for potting and all my power tools. This rose produces a beautiful velvet looking flower that is wonder to behold. I get more compliments on this rose bush than any other that I have. Since the soil in Ca. where i live is extremely rocky I dug out a 30" hole 24" wide for each plant and put in a soil mix recipe for roses I got from SFgates. First year had a beautiful display and now it covers the entire trellis.

Healthy gorgeous rose

I live in zone 11 which is the East Bay of Northern California. My Altissimo rose is blooming and has beautiful healthy foliage. I planted it in the beginning of the summer. The blooms are dark red and stunning and long lasting. I am very happy with the quality of this plant.
