    "Schoolgirl is a very fragrant climbing rose that repeat flowers all summer. The colour is burnt orange with a perfect flower shape like a hybrid tea rose. Schoolgirl grows to about with a large climbing support, can be kept smaller with pruning. Roses do best in sun or light shade, they will tolerate most soils especially heavy clay soils"
