Rosa 'Silver Moon' is a climbing rose known for its subtle apple scent. The flowers are quite large, reaching up to 5 inches in diameter, and can be either single or semi-double in form. Typically, these blooms appear as solitary flowers or in small clusters. They generally blossom once during the late spring to early summer season. Since this variety flowers on old wood, it is advisable to prune it after the blooming period has ended. In regions with colder climates, it may need some winter protection.

Regarding pests, diseases, and other plant issues, while this rose is largely resistant to diseases, it can be prone to mildew.
