Strongly fragrant, Rosa 'Paul Noel' is a medium-sized rambler with graceful sprays of double, strawberry-pink flowers with coppery and yellow undertones. Pleasantly apple scented, the blooms, 3 in. across (8 cm), are very full (26-40 petals) and gradually fade to pink as they mature. Blooming freely in early summer, this rambler rose also experiences a good repeat performance in late summer. Well-branched, it has a healthy, shiny, light green foliage that is red-tinged when young. Its flexible and graceful canes are perfect for training over pergolas or against walls and trellises. Shade tolerant, 'Paul Noel' is also ideal for a north-facing site. Good disease resistance.
