Products > Rosa 'Anemone'   Rosa 'Anemone' - Climbing Rose THIS LISTING FOR INFORMATION ONLY - WE NO LONGER GROW THIS PLANT  [2nd Image] Habit and Cultural Information Category: Vine Family: Rosaceae (Roses) Origin: Garden Origin Evergreen: Yes Flower Color: Pink Bloomtime: Spring Parentage: (Rosa laevigata hybrid) Height: Climbing (Vine) Exposure: Full Sun Irrigation (H2O Info): Medium Water Needs Winter Hardiness: 20-25° F Rosa 'Anemone' (Climbing Rose) - This pink evergreen hybrid climber has been previously known as Rosa anemonoides or R. sinica 'Anemone' but now it is considered a Rosa laevigata hybrid. Bred by J. Schmidt of Erfurt, Germany in 1895, it is presumed to be a cross between the white, single flowered Cherokee Rose, R. laevigata and a Tea Rose. For this reason it is often called 'Pink Cherokee', and although it has the vigor of R. laevigata, it is much more open and its foliage more dainty. Growing to 12 feet tall and wide in the early spring this plant has a profusion of lightly fragrant large clear pink single flowers erupting from the glossy foliage and is often followed by a rebloom in the early summer. The flower petals are lightly veined with a deeper pink, are paler on the reverse side and surround a crown of golden stamens. The bloom period extends through mid-spring and is often followed by a rebloom in the early summer. A large specimen of Rosa 'Anenome' can be seen at our nursery on our back fence behind the main greenhouse. Zones 5-9. We received this plant from Bernard Aquistapace and grew this plant from 1998 until 2009.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery and in our own and other Santa Barbara gardens. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information or disagrees with what we have written.     [MORE INFO]
