Description
This award-winning climbing rose was crowned the Rose of the Year in 2017 and for good reason. Its powerful and delicious fragrance earned it an additional accolade at the Paris International Rose Trials, and it was also awarded a Certificate of Merit in the Royal National Rose Society Trials. Bred in Britain by renowned rose hybridizer Chris Warner, this repeat-bloomer starts flowering in early summer with elegantly pointed apricot-orange blooms that last until early autumn. It’s not only a stunning addition to any garden but also highly disease-resistant, making it a low-maintenance choice for rose enthusiasts. To complement its vibrant blooms, ‘Scent from Heaven’ pairs well with blue or purple flowering plants like Lavender, Salvia, or Delphinium. For a softer contrast, consider planting it alongside white or pink roses like ‘Iceberg’ or ‘Gertrude Jekyll’.
