WEKrosopela – Candy Land climbing rose
Bring a touch of cottage charm to your garden with WEKrosopela (Candy Land), a cheerful, large-flowered climbing rose that covers pergolas, fences and walls in striped blooms. Its semi-double, open-centred flowers are rich in nectar, inviting bees and other pollinators while You relax and enjoy the display. The pink-and-cream stripes stay eye-catching even in our changeable Irish weather and humid summers, and the medium-sized clusters repeat well through the season for a long-lasting show. As a pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL own-root plant, it settles in steadily and offers natural regrowth, making long-term care simpler. With dense, glossy foliage and a manageable, medium-climbing habit, it suits average family plots where You want vertical interest without complicated rose training. Give it reasonable drainage to cope with our heavier soils, plant once and let it climb into place over the next few seasons, building strong roots in year one, more canes in year two and its full ornamental value by year three.

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.
