Rosa 'Pippin' is a repeat-flowering, climbing rose bearing masses of fully double, cushion-like pink blooms in contrast with dark, glossy foliage, throughout the summer months. The flowers have a delicate, sweet fragrance.
Rosa 'Pippin' is healthy and shows moderate resistance to diseases, such as rose black spot. It's ideal for growing up a rose arch or pergola, and may even be grown in a large pot if offered some support.
Mulch annually with well-rotted manure or compost, and deadhead blooms in summer to prolong flowering.
