Description

The Climbing Cecile Brunner, often called the “Sweetheart Rose,” is a charming and vigorous heirloom. It covers itself in spring with thousands of perfectly formed, small, soft pink buds that open to delicate, shell-pink blooms with a sweet, spicy fragrance. It is exceptionally hardy, disease-resistant, and tolerates partial shade. While primarily a once-bloomer (with occasional later flowers), its spectacular spring display and romantic, carefree nature have made it a beloved garden treasure for generations.

• Profusion of “Sweetheart” Blooms: In spring, produces an incredible abundance of tiny, perfectly shaped, shell-pink double blooms.

• Sweet Spicy Fragrance: The small flowers carry a delightful, distinct sweet and spicy scent.

• Extremely Vigorous & Tough: A very hardy and robust climber that is highly disease-resistant and tolerates poor soil and some shade.

• Low Maintenance & Once-Blooming: Requires minimal care. Its main, spectacular display is in spring on old wood.

• Heirloom Charm: A historic rose (1894) that adds timeless romance and nostalgia to fences, arbors, and cottage gardens.
