Phonetic Spelling:RO-zuh by for-too-nee-AY-nah

Genus:Rosa

Species:

Family:Rosaceae

This climbing rose can be shaped into a shrub and is capable of being trained to grow on various support structures. It is a robust plant with arching canes and a root system that allows it to withstand drought conditions once it is well-established.

In late spring to early summer, it produces double fragrant creamy-white flowers. Since it blooms on old wood, it is best to prune it after the flowering period has ended. The foliage is appealing, though it may have some prickles. This plant can serve as a striking specimen, a hedge, or a privacy screen.

Today, it is frequently utilized as rootstock because of its resilience to diseases and drought.
