Altissimo is an exceptional variety of red climbing rose, known for its striking upright growth and vibrant blood-red single blooms that appear on new wood. This rose is both resilient and capable of thriving in high temperatures. Its foliage is a rich, leathery deep green, contributing to its overall appeal. With strong resistance to diseases, Altissimo also serves as a superb cut flower. It produces an abundance of flowers throughout the spring and summer months, flourishing best when planted in full sunlight. The plant continues to bloom consistently on both new and established wood, and spring pruning can encourage fresh growth. Additionally, it releases a subtle clove-like fragrance. For further details, please refer to information on Rosa.
