Rosa 'TEASING GEORGIA Climbing' climbing rose (David Austin)

THIS VARIETY HAS BEEN RETIRED BY DAVID AUSTIN, NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION.

Have you ever been teased by a rose? Teasing Georgia Climbing will offer you this luxury, we get into that in a jiffy. This one is a climbing version of the shrub variety producing enchanting flowers of somewhat golden or amber yellow flowers. They are fully double, large, and have paler outer petals. Thanks to its strong tea rose fragrance it won the Henry Edland Medal in the 2000 R.N.R.S. trials for the best scented variety. And what's the tease? Well, Teasing Georgia has been observed to produce a lot of wood and foliage in the first year or two, possibly a few mid-sized semi-double flowers, and only when well-established it begins to thrive producing profusion of large, fantastically coloured flowers as if telling you "now you deserve it having withstood my whims". Good repeat flowering.

Planting instructions: Prepare a hole of size 30x30 cm. Put your rose in the way that the grafting point is 3 cm deep in the soil. Water well and cover new shoots with soil or bark mulch about 15 cm high. Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun.

Pruning: rambling or climbing roses are not supposed to be pruned. Just remove old or ill branches. Deadheading will help setting new flower buds.
