Rosa 'Crimson Siluetta' - Climbing Rose

The Climbing Rose 'Siluetta Crimson' is part of the Siluetta series, a line of roses developed in Germany by Kordes for their compact habit as they reach a maximum height of 2m (7ft). Very recurrent, their floribundance is only matched by their robustness and disease resistance. This variety 'Crimson' announces its presence with its splendid crimson red flowering. Its flowers have the appearance of old roses: with their numerous tightly packed petals, they form very double roses, slightly fragrant, abundantly present along the flexible stems, creating a beautiful contrast with the dark green satin foliage.

The 'Crimson Siluetta' Rose 'KORsilu06' is a highly recurrent climbing rose that appeared on the European market in 2019. This cultivar won the gold medal at the Baden-Baden International Rose Competition 2019. Vigorous, it has a flexible habit and thorny stems, reaching 2m (7ft) in height and 70cm (28in) in width. Its foliage, free from spots, perfectly showcases the beautiful clusters of small 4cm (2in) flowers of intense red. It blooms almost continuously, from May to September, abundantly, as long as it does not lack water. Its flowers are double, globular, with tightly packed petals. Their fragrance, fresh and light, belongs to wild roses.

The 'Siluetta' roses are suitable for covering a fence, a pergola, or a trellis on a wall. They allow for the creation of modest but sumptuous decorations throughout the summer. They require very little maintenance, except for regular watering in summer in case of high heat and prolonged drought. Mix them or combine them with easy-to-grow large-flowered clematis like 'Broughton Star'. They are good companions for paniculate phlox, delphiniums, foxgloves, catmints, and tall baby's breath. The 'Crimson' variety can be combined in contrast with large blue salvias or with foliage climbers like the Virginia creeper. It also elegantly dresses up a balcony in a large pot exposed to partial shade.
