AMADEUS® – red climbing rose - Kordes
If You dream of a striking climbing rose that simply gets on with the job, AMADEUS® is a reliable partner for Irish gardens, coping well even where constant moisture and heavy soil call for careful drainage. Its lustrous deep-red blooms appear in generous clusters, first in early summer and then again in a strong remontant flush, creating a dramatic vertical curtain of colour on arches, walls or pergolas. The dense, dark green foliage provides an elegant backdrop, while the semi-double flowers are partly open, offering moderate pollinator interest for bees. As an own-root climber in the pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2‑litre pot, it is already well established, ready to plant so You can enjoy a long-lived display that can regenerate from its own base over time. During year one it focuses on roots, in year two it builds strong shoots, and by year three You see its full ornamental value along your chosen structure.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front-garden rose arch framing the entrance
The vigorous climbing habit and generous height allow AMADEUS® to cover a standard rose arch in a few seasons, creating a bold red welcome that repeats through the summer, ideal for gardeners who want maximum effect from one plant for a long time with minimal-experience
South- or west-facing house wall
Its good heat tolerance and very good colour retention mean the rich red blooms keep their depth even on warm, sun-exposed walls, so You get a stable, dramatic vertical feature without worrying that the flowers will bleach quickly, suiting time-poor
Pergola or seating area backdrop
With a height of up to 3.8 m and dense, glossy foliage, this rose forms a living screen around pergolas, providing privacy and shade while the repeat flush of flowers keeps the structure attractive over many years for relaxed
Small group planting on a long fence
Planted at intervals along a boundary, its cluster-flowered, remontant blooms create a near-continuous red ribbon; own-root growth means each plant gradually shapes itself to the fence line for a durable, easy-to-live-with boundary suited to planners
Partially shaded side passage or alley
Suitable for partial shade, AMADEUS® will still flower well where the sun only reaches part of the day, brightening narrow access paths and side returns that often stay bare, making them feel cared-for yet uncomplicated for busy
Urban courtyard or balcony in a large container
In a minimum 40–50 litre container with support, its climbing habit lets You bring height and colour into compact spaces; the well-rooted, own-root plant adapts gradually to container life, providing a long-term feature for city-dwellers
Cottage-style mixed bed with perennials
The semi-double, fresh-looking flowers combine well with hardy companions such as bigroot geranium or spring cinquefoil, while moderate pollinator interest fits a softer, wildlife-aware cottage style without demanding complex care from beginners
Exhibition-style focal point in a showy garden
With multiple international gold medals and excellent colour holding even in strong sun, AMADEUS® lends itself to more formal, exhibition-inspired schemes where consistency matters, particularly when Irish wet spells make careful drainage and siting important for enthusiasts
Decorating ideas
Entrance Curtain – Train AMADEUS® over a metal arch and underplant with lavender for a red-and-purple front-garden statement – ideal for homeowners who want a romantic welcome with simple upkeep.
Cottage Pergola – Let the climber scramble along a timber pergola with fragrant bigroot geranium at the base for soft groundcover – great for rural cottage gardens seeking colour and shade through summer.
Urban Screen – Grow it in a 40–50 litre pot against trellis, pairing with compact rosemary for scent and structure – suits balconies and small patios that need privacy and an easy vertical accent.
Fence Ribbon – Space several plants along a sunny fence with spring cinquefoil in front for a layered red-and-yellow border – perfect for families wanting a long-lasting, low-fuss boundary display.
Show-Garden Focus – Combine AMADEUS® with clipped Japanese euonymus and gravel for a neat, exhibition-inspired corner – appealing to hobby gardeners who enjoy smart structure but limited maintenance.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Climbing hybrid introduced as Amadeus® Klettermaxe®, registered as KORlabriax; ARS exhibition name Amadeus™; large-flowered climber in the Klettermaxe® collection, verified authenticity for garden use.
Origin and breeding
Bred by W. Kordes III in Germany, breeding completed 2003 and registered the same year; introduced commercially in 2007 by W. Kordes’ Söhne, continuing their line of robust, decorative climbing roses.
Awards and recognitions
Gold medals at Hague and Geneva International Rose Trials in 2004, Bagatelle (Paris) Certificate of Merit the same year, plus a gold medal at Lyon 2005, confirming its ornamental and garden merit.
Growth and structure
Strong climbing growth reaching about 2.4–3.8 m high with 0.9–1.6 m spread; dense, glossy dark green foliage on moderately thorny canes; benefits from firm tying-in to supports for best coverage and display.
Flower morphology
Semi-double, cup-shaped blooms with 13–25 petals, produced in clusters; large flower size around 7–10 cm and strong remontant habit, giving a plentiful second flush after the main early-summer flowering.
Colour and phenology
Lustrous deep red colour (RHS 53A outer, 46A inner) with velvety buds and very good resistance to fading; colour holds even in strong sunlight, maintaining a rich scarlet display across successive flushes.
Fragrance and aroma
Fresh, gently rose-scented fragrance of mild strength; noticeable at close range without being overpowering, making it suitable near seating areas or entrances where lighter perfumes are preferred.
Rose hip characteristics
Forms moderate quantities of spherical hips, 9–15 mm in diameter, orange-red (RHS 40A); hips add seasonal interest in late season if spent blooms are not removed after flowering.
Resistance and hardiness
Very hardy to about −26 to −23 °C (H7, USDA 5b, Swedish zone 4); however, disease resistance is modest, with high sensitivity to powdery mildew and moderate susceptibility to black spot and rust.
Horticultural recommendations
Best on sunny, well-drained sites; avoid cramped, stagnant positions to reduce mildew. Requires regular plant protection in humid seasons, along with training, tying-in and occasional deadheading for top results.
AMADEUS® offers rich, colourfast red blooms, vigorous climbing growth and reliable repeat flowering on a durable own-root framework, giving You a long-lived vertical highlight for arches, walls or pergolas when You feel ready to add it to your garden.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
