It reached several heights its first year. At first, I thought It was just a normal climbing rose and it probably wouldn't get much taller but I was wrong It started to ramble on the trellis reaching 7 foot wide and 15 foot tall
I was so excited when I saw you had a Cecile bruener ! My mom had one in her garden and I remember as a child walking under the arbor to get to the clothesline. It was such a fond childhood memory so I had to have one! I was surprised at how fragile it seemed when it arrived but in less than a month it appears to have doubled in size! And it’s already weaving its way up my arbor. I can’t wait to see it’s sweet pale pink blooms. I am so happy with my rose. Thank you for offering it
This rose needs monthly care to keep it under control. Not a bad thing, just forewarning. It has thorns, so wear protection. It is a vigorous growing plant. Love mine and it's beautiful in bloom or not. The roses are not suitable for arrangements unless you know they may only last 1 day. And I call it the "monster" 😉 because it grows so fast.
I grew up with a huge Cecile Brunner that covered the side of our garage and loved the fragrance and petite flower bouquets for my dolls. Wonderful memories! Our children remember several Cecile Brunners on the bank in the back yard and those hardy, healthy beauties gave us many years of worry-free, practically maintenance-free joy until we moved last year; they are still beautiful. We wanted these same roses for our new house, couldn't find them locally, and decided to order on-line. We received two young plants a week ago from Heirloom, unpacked a couple of healthy, vigorous starts and are waiting for the current heat spell to break before we put them in the ground in a few more days. The nearly leafless shoots are popping out new leaves all over and already have three buds. Heirloom quality did not disappoint! Thank you!
