Rose Sir Edmund Hillary

Rose Sir Edmund Hillary Details

“Sir Edmund Hillary” is a popular climbing rose. It features masses of scented, white flowers with a cream centre which are borne continuously from late spring until autumn. The flowers are complemented with lush and glossy, dark green leaves. This deciduous plant typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide, and is generally pruned back each winter by up to two-thirds. This variety grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, semi-sheltered site, and is tolerant of cool climates, frost, and short periods of dry. “Sir Edmund Hillary” is commonly trained along a fence or other support structure, added to a mixed planting, included in a cottage garden, or used where a colourful and long flowering plant is required.
