    Winner of Rose of the Year 2023.​

    Peach Melba

    Climbing rose 'Peach Melba' is smothered in colourful blooms of apricots and pinks, almost like large scoops as its name suggests. Its shorter stature make it ideal for smaller walls or even container growing on patios. Repeat flowering.

                Sounds absolutely lovely Woo.,so many it seems these days don't have a fragrance at all. With the added bonus of being resistant to the dreaded blackspot too.....which no matter what I do I still face a losing battle with each year.:sad:

                    Good afternoon @Cordy my friend I hesitate to advise on online Rose Retailers and Rose Nurseries unless I have had first hand experience of them I would respectfully suggest that if you start looking locally and then see who actually stocks "Peach Melba" I always use local Rose Nurseries mostly "Eastcroft Roses" which is walking distance for me,but if you have any problems locating this beautiful Rose then please get back to me but as well I am sure one of our friends on here can suggest and recommend that they have used in the past that's one of the advantages of belonging Gardeners Corner:smile:
