Rose, 2 gal, Above and Beyond

This new large-flowered climber is a very different rose for colder climates. Above and Beyond™ combines extreme cane hardiness, reliable spring flowering and vigorous growth. Orange flower buds open in prolific clusters of five or more apricot colored semi-double to double flowers. Plants bloom in mid- to late-spring with sporadic repeat flowering in summer. With extreme cane hardiness, Above and Beyond can be a climber or a nice large free-standing shrub in colder regions where plant dieback from cold is not an issue. This cane hardy, large-flowered rose blooms reliably in spring making it a welcome addition in colder climates and is very resistant to fungal diseases. A First Editions® variety.
