Rosa 'Meg' is a fragrant climbing rose that can reach heights of up to 12 feet, featuring sturdy stems. Its striking semi-double blooms, which showcase a beautiful blend of apricot hues, are perfect for cutting. This rose variety flowers from late spring through early summer and continues to produce blooms throughout the season. It can be cultivated as a shrub or trained to climb. Since the flowers develop on older wood, it's best to prune after the blooming period concludes for the year.

For additional details about Rosa, please refer to further resources.
