PARADE – deep pink climbing rose - Boerner

Turn a plain wall or fence into a parade of colour with this classic deep-pink climber that thrives in typical Irish gardens, even where soils hold moisture and need a little extra drainage. PARADE is bred for endurance, combining reliable health with a long life on its own roots so the plant can regenerate and stay attractive for decades. You get generous repeat flowering through the season, with large, fully double blooms that look as if they belong in a traditional cottage garden and are perfect for cutting. The strong, classic rose fragrance means every stroll past your pergola or archway feels special, without demanding complicated care routines. Your pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2-litre plant arrives already well-rooted and easy to handle, so you simply plant, water and let it settle, watching it build roots in year one, push larger shoots in year two and then reach full ornamental impact by year three.

Use cases

Target area Reason
Front-garden arch or arbour framing the entrance Ideal if you want a welcoming, romantic entrance without fussy maintenance tasks: PARADE’s healthy foliage and repeat flowering create a full, flowered arch that stays impressive with simple pruning and occasional feeding, suiting the busy homeowner audience
Sunny wall of a family home Climbs 3–4.5 metres with dense, glossy foliage, giving a long-lived green backdrop and waves of deep pink flowers; excellent for covering bare walls and providing privacy with minimal intervention, appealing to low-maintenance garden planners audience
Pergola or seating area in a cottage-style garden The strong classic rose scent and full double blooms make PARADE perfect around seating, where you can enjoy its colour and perfume at close range; long lifespan on own roots keeps the structure clothed for years, which reassures long-term planners audience
Small group planting along a fence line Plant 1–3 roses at the recommended spacing to create a coherent flowering screen; remontant habit means good repeat blooms so the fence looks cared-for even if your gardening time is limited, ideal for time-poor but style-conscious gardeners audience
Traditional mixed border in a rural or cottage garden Works beautifully with perennials and cottage favourites, providing height, structure and classic rose character; own-root growth adapts gradually to local soil and care, giving a stable, harmonious feature that suits relaxed, informal planters audience
Urban side passage or narrow strip with vertical supports Uses vertical space efficiently, turning narrow or awkward strips into flowering corridors; dense foliage and repeat flowering enhance privacy without needing expert training, providing an easy win for compact urban gardens and side returns audience
Coastal or exposed garden with wind-tolerant supports Performs reliably in Atlantic-influenced gardens once given a well-drained planting hole and sturdy support, coping well with humid conditions and common fungal pressures, which suits coastal homeowners wanting dependable climbers audience
Large container on patio or balcony with trellis (40–50 litres minimum) Can be grown in a generous container with good drainage and regular watering, giving renters or balcony gardeners a vertical rose feature; its remontant habit and long-lived own-root constitution offer reliable returns in limited space for container enthusiasts audience

Decorating ideas

  • Romantic Entrance Arch – Train PARADE over a metal or wooden arch, underplant with Alchemilla mollis and pale foxgloves for a soft, foamy skirt of green and cream – perfect for those creating a storybook welcome at the front door
  • Cottage Pergola Walkway – Let its deep pink clusters drape along a pergola, weaving in white Lychnis viscaria 'Alba' and lavender for scent and movement – ideal for cottage-garden fans who want an easy-care floral tunnel
  • Colour-Drenched Fence – Space several plants along a sunny fence and mix in Knautia macedonica 'Red Knight' at the base, echoing the rich pink tones – suited to families who want a bright, cheerful boundary without complex planting plans
  • Patio Rose Screen – Grow PARADE in a 40–50 litre container with a slim trellis, edging the pot with trailing thyme or campanula – great for balcony and patio owners seeking privacy and classic roses in limited space
  • Country Wall Feature – Cover a shed or outbuilding wall, combining PARADE with blue hydrangeas nearby so the warm pink blooms contrast with cool blues – attractive for rural gardeners wanting a long-lived, traditional focal point

Technical cultivar profile
Property Data
Name and registration Registered cultivar name: Parade; trade name: Parade Climbing rose Parade. Large-flowered climber belonging to the Climbing rose collection; ARS exhibition name Parade, unregistered in official registries.
Origin and breeding Bred by Eugene S. Boerner for Jackson & Perkins Co. in the United States; introduced in 1953 as a seedling from 'New Dawn' × 'World's Fair', combining vigorous climbing growth with classic hybrid-tea style blooms.
Awards and recognitions RHS Award of Garden Merit highlights its reliability and garden performance; winner of first prize, Climber category, Kansas City Rose Society Show in 2001, confirming its ornamental and exhibition value.
Growth and structure Vigorous climbing habit reaching about 300–450 cm in height and 200–310 cm spread. Produces dense, mid-green, glossy foliage with moderate prickles; needs support such as a wall, fence, arch or pergola for best display.
Flower morphology Large, fully double, cup-shaped flowers with approximately 26–39 petals, usually borne in clusters. Bloom size around 7–10 cm, giving a lush, traditional rose effect on long climbing canes suitable for cutting and display.
Colour and phenology Flowers open deep, vivid pink with slightly darker outer petals and cyclamen-tinged buds, lightening slightly at the edges as they age. Colour holds moderately in sun, with good remontant flowering giving several flushes per season.
Fragrance and aroma Offers a strong, classic rose scent that is clearly perceptible around the plant, especially in still, warm conditions. Well suited to planting near seating areas, doors or paths where the perfume can be fully appreciated.
Rose hip characteristics Because of its very double flower form, hip set is usually low. Occasionally forms small, spherical orange-red hips, about 10–15 mm in diameter, adding modest late-season interest without creating heavy self-seeding.
Resistance and hardiness Shows good resistance to common rose diseases such as powdery mildew, black spot and rust. Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (USDA zone 6b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 3), coping well with typical Irish winter conditions.
Horticultural recommendations Prefers a sunny, open position with fertile, well-drained soil. Space 145–270 cm depending on use and allow sturdy support. Deadhead to tidy, water during prolonged dry spells, and tie in young shoots to build an even framework.

PARADE offers rich deep-pink blooms, strong fragrance and reliable repeat flowering, while its long-lived own-root habit helps it settle into your garden for decades, making it a thoughtful choice if you would like a dependable climbing rose.

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.
