national PLANT NETWORK's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening. Zephirine Drouhin is a beloved heirloom climbing rose prized for its fragrant rose pink blooms, vigorous growth, and nearly thornless canes. Bare root roses arrive dormant and leafless, consisting of a healthy root system and sturdy canes that are ready to establish quickly once planted. Bare root roses are easy to plant, just soak in water for several hours to rehydrate the roots, then plant into well prepared soil with good drainage and plenty of sunlight. After planting, new growth typically begins within a few weeks as temperatures warm, followed by leaf development and long flexible canes that can be easily trained onto trellises or supports. As the plant becomes established, Zephirine Drouhin produces abundant clusters of richly colored pink flowers with a strong sweet fragrance, creating a romantic and timeless garden display. This classic climbing rose offers beauty, fragrance, and ease of care for vertical garden spaces.
