Fast growing and vigorous, Rosa America is a glorious climbing rose with elegant sprays of fully double, perfectly shaped, coral flowers, 3 in. across (10 cm), packed with up to 43 petals. Opening from pointed buds, they have a strong and delightful clove fragrance. Borne mostly one per stem, but occasionally in small clusters, they bloom in flushes from late spring to fall. They contrast nicely with the thick, leathery foliage of dark green leaves. A popular climber prized for its vigor, prolific blooms, intoxicating perfume and excellent disease resistance.
