Climbers

Climbers can be seen across Sonoma County through a bucolic lens as forgotten flowers clinging to collapsed old barns, or, through a more curated eye as showpieces of a garden engulfing wooden or metal structures. Whichever your viewpoint, Climber roses are generally mutations or variations of bush or hybrid tea variety. Their extra-long canes grow profusely, allowing the canes to be easily manipulated into growing up or around a surface or your choice.
