Lady Banks White Live Climbing Rose Bush Plant Thornless Heirloom Own Root Starter Sz

Lady Banks is a wonderful old climbing species rose. She is a memorable and traffic stopping spectacle when in glorious full flower. This rose grows large and is aggressive, so plant it out where you want quick cover on an arbor, fence line or shed. It is especially nice to use for these areas because it is nearly thornless.

The foliage grows dense and tight with sharp pointed lance shaped leaves of medium green.

It blooms annually in the spring, with the bloom period lasting 4-6 weeks, depending on temperatures. Individual blooms are small densely doubled blooms about an inch diameter, but appear in large, showy boughs and cascades. It is sometimes commonly called the Tombstone Rose, as a very large specimen planted in the 1800s grows in Tombstone Arizona. This rose takes several seasons to reach its full blooming potential.

Roses are outdoor plants. They do not adapt easily to indoor growing conditions and not recommended as houseplants.
