Forming charming cascades of flowers, Rosa 'Dorothy Perkins' is a very vigorous rambler rose with large clusters of double, salmon-pink, rosette-shaped flowers. Slightly fragrant, each bloom, 1.5 in. across (4 cm), is packed with 26-40 petals. As the blooms age, their color gets darker, adding depth to the floral display. The long, flexible canes of this rambling rose are clothed with small, glossy, dark green leaves, which turn rusty orange in the fall. Once the most popular rambler, 'Dorothy Perkins' is pretty hardy and perfect for trailing along fences and other garden structures.

Regarded as one of the top favorite clematis by most gardeners, award-winning Clematis × durandii is a long-flowering herbaceous clematis. Deciduous, this non-twining sub-shrub produces showy, star-shaped, up-facing flowers, up to 4 in. (10 cm), adorned with 4-6 indigo-blue sepals and creamy anthers. Blooming profusely from early summer to early fall, this small-flowered clematis is not a vine. Its leaf stalks do not cling and this plant doesn't climb. Clad with simple, ovate, medium green leaves, the young stems hold themselves erect up to about 4 ft. (120 cm) before they need support. A cross between Clematis jackmanii and Clematis integrifolia, Clematis × durandii is hardy, easy to grow, and no trouble to prune, since it dies back when its season is over. An excellent clematis for long-lasting, often spectacular, summer to fall bloom.
