Climbing ‘Yametsu-hime’ A sport of ‘Yametsu-hime’ found by Takashi Kawai in 2008. Canes 1.5m . (Rose Catalogue from Perennial Co. 2008--2009 )

Flowers of this rose remind us of those of Chinese milk-vetch (Astragalus sinicus). Its compact growth and floriferousness make it an ideal rose to be planted in a pot. It will also fit a Japanese garden, since it has a look in common with that of a wild plant. ( A Pictorial Guide to Roses published by Sodo-sha Press, 2006). Also see Modern Roses.
[ “Yametsu” sounds like the ferry crossing of Yame, a city in Kyushu, but its true meaning is uncertain.]
