Rose ‘Dorothy Perkins’
A beloved classic since the early 1900s, Rose ‘Dorothy Perkins’ is one of the most charming and reliable rambling roses you can grow. It produces abundant sprays of small, double, rose-pink blooms that cover the plant in a spectacular display during late spring and early summer. The flowers have a delicate, old-fashioned charm and a soft fragrance that makes them irresistible in the garden.
This vigorous rambler is ideal for covering fences, pergolas, arches or trellises, where it can cascade gracefully with its long, flexible canes. Dorothy Perkins thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and performs best with regular feeding and deep watering during the growing season. Prune lightly after flowering to remove spent growth and keep the plant tidy — it flowers on old wood, so avoid heavy winter pruning.
Well suited to most South African climates, this rose is particularly lovely in country or cottage gardens, where it delivers masses of colour with minimal effort.
