‘Copenhagen’ /’Kobenhavn’ = Grimpant à grande fleur… écarlate profond… en petits bouquets… parfum léger. Bien que robuste, cette variété se range plutôt parmi les grimpants modestes et convient pour une colonne ou un mur peu élevé. Son feuillage vert intense et sain est teinté de cuivre… Poulsen, Danemark, 1964.

Copenhagen Another climber that has never quite lived up to its early promise, 'Copenhagen' won a certificate of merit from the R.N.R.S. in 1963 and many nurserymen immediately added this bright red, fragrant and repeat-flowering climber to their catalogues. But by 1980 it had been dropped from the R.N.R.S.'s list of popular climbing and rambling roses, largely because it is a little temperamental, thriving only when it is happy with its situation, takes several years to get established and may take five or six to grow more than 6ft (1.8m). It was the first major success of Danish rose grower Niels Poulsen, and it arose from a cross between an unknown seedling (presumably with climbing blood in it) and 'Ena Harkness', which has passed on its colouring, fragrance and foliage characteristics. In the right situation it will ultimately reach 10ft (3m) on a wall and perhaps 7ft (2.1m) on a pillar. Although there is never a wealth of bloom, flowers are produced in groups during the entire season. The wonderfully bright, deep scarlet flowers are rather special; they are large, with up to fifty petals, but shapely and he coppery foliage, which is not profuse, blends perfectly with the blooms. As well as its rich fragrance, 'Copenhagen' has its good health to recommend it.
