Rosa ‘Cécile Brünner’ is a beloved climbing rose, renowned since 1894 for its vigorous, nearly thornless growth. It features generous clusters of fragrant, pale pink blooms, 1.5 inches across, with up to 30 petals each. The flowers, resembling miniature Hybrid Tea roses, make a stunning display in late spring into early summer. With its smooth, reddish stems and dark green, sometimes reddish-tinged leaves, this rose is perfect for arches, fences, or trellises in sun or partial shade. It’s also well-suited for north-facing sites and boasts good disease resistance.
Rosa ‘Cécile Brünner’ flourishes in full sun to partial shade and needs average watering to keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained. It grows well in chalk, clay, loam, or sand, with adaptable pH levels. Regular pruning and balanced fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer will promote blooms.
