I planted this rose 2 years ago and from the day one it grows like there is no tomorrow . It's already taller than 10 feet . Gorgeous flowers that stay on for 3-4 weeks even in excessive heat.
Super Dorthey is a beautiful climbing rose. With small pink cluster blooms. This climber has surprised me with its vigorous growth and perfuse blooms. I have had this climber for less than a year and just set it out in the landscape 8 weeks ago and it is already quarter up the trellis. It is spectacular to see.
This rose can stand up to serious neglect. I had bought it from the local garden club in a 3-gallon pot, tossed it into a shady corner and left it for a few years. It grew and bloomed. The pot fell over, it continued to grow and bloom. I finally planted it, and it has been an outstanding performer ever since (about a decade). I was just looking to prune it, and I realized that the reason it sends out long, thin-ish canes is that it wants to ramble! Fortunately, it's next to a fence so I can easily set up some support for it. All of my other roses get serious rust issues in the summer, but not this one. It has been virtually disease free with no spraying or special treatment. It has occasionally been hit by whiteflies, but they don't seem to slow it down. And of course, the blooms are exquisite and plentiful over a long period, despite being in part shade.
I originally planted mine to climb a tree but with all the weeds it didnt do so well.i moved it to climb up a sunny wall and it is flurishing.looking forward to it getting 11 feet. Bright pink flower clusters
