'Climbing Frau Karl Druschki' rose Reviews & Comments
most recent 2 MAR 24  
Initial post 1 MAR 24 by odinthor
"A NEW ROSE. Climbing Frau Karl Druschki. This is a Rose likely to become immensely popular in gardens. It originated in the nursery of Mr. William Lawrenson, Hutton Gate, Guisborough [North Yorkshire, England], and received an award of merit from the Royal Horticultural Society in the spring of this year. It is of vigorous growth, and plants grown under glass in Mr. Lawrenson's nursery have made 12 feet to 15 feet of wood in a season, and bent down with the weight of flowers. It will bloom in the dead of winter, the flowers opening a very pale pink colour, which passes to pure white, as in the parent. Its freedom of flowering is remarkable. The plant (which was in an 8-inch pot) shown before the Royal Horticultural Society had thirty-six buds and flowers. On its return to the nursery the green wood was removed for propagating purposes, but it is again full of buds," from periodical The Garden, May 26, 1906, pp. 281-282. And so from nurseryman William Lawrenson, not T.A. Lawrenson.

At least in my experience, there might not be much difference in the climbing version. My “regular” FKD regularly attains 10 foot (maybe more, I’ve never let it grow to find out!) canes, which must be pruned or pegged to keep it in bounds.

Thank you Brent. Reference added and discoverer corrected.

Looks like Rose Petals Nursery is offering it, but currently out of stock.
