What is Monty Don’s favorite climbing rose?
If plentiful blooms are what you’re after, copy Monty by growing the rambling rose ‘Félicité-Perpétue’ in your garden. The small creamy white flowers grow in clusters that look fabulous – but it will only flower once a year, so enjoy them while they’re there. It just takes a bit more time to produce new blooms. Be patient. If they are shrub roses, they’ll keep blooming until frost. Just be sure to deadhead OFTEN, as soon as a bloom is spent, or the plant sends energy to create seeds (rose hips – the little bulbous thing the spent flower turns into).
