Rambling roses

Rambling roses
Rambling roses are older and closer to wild roses and were developed between 1800 and 1921. They are generally more vigorous and disease resistant than the more modern climbers, can grow up to 20 feet tall in one season and are mostly hardy to Zone 4. The blooms of ramblers are smallish, less than two inches across and bloom in dense clusters, although some of the newer varieties have larger flowers. Many ramblers are vulnerable to mildew.
