Rosa 'Peach Melba' - Climbing Max Rose

The 'Peach Melba' Climbing Rose offers a new choice in climbing roses. Not very tall but vigorous, it is suitable for small gardens and container cultivation. Its vegetation, of a beautiful dark green, is covered with bouquets of delightful double roses, in a delicious gradient of orange and pink, truly bright. This variety stands out for its disease resistance, hardiness, and excellent floribundity, which have earned it the prestigious and demanding ADR label awarded in Germany to excellent varieties. Worth discovering!

The 'Peach Melba' climbing rose or 'KORmelpea' is part of the Climbing Max series, a line of climbing roses developed in Germany by Kordes. These versatile varieties are at their best when most of the long shoots are horizontally trained. They reach a height of 2m (7ft) and are superb on trellises, fences, walls, arches, or obelisks. When left free and planted in groups of 3, these roses form sumptuous pyramids.

The 'Peach Melba' Rose is part of the complex family of cluster-flowered roses. It is a 2018 creation that has been awarded in international competitions. It is a climbing rose with a flexible habit and thorny stems, reaching a height of 2m (7ft) with an 80cm (32in) spread, depending on the growing conditions. Its deciduous foliage, of very dark green, is particularly healthy and perfectly enhances the colour of the flowers. These roses, measuring 7 to 8cm (3in) in diameter, are full of petals. Their colour ranges from creamy yellow to soft orange, salmon pink, and rose. It blooms abundantly from May to June to October, provided it does not lack water. Its roses are grouped in bouquets of 5 to 10 units. They have a light fragrance.

The 'Peach Melba' rose can be trained as a climber or grown as a bush, depending on the preferences of each gardener. It allows for splendid decorations throughout the summer period and requires very little maintenance, except for regular watering in summer during periods of high heat and prolonged drought. Pair it with another small climbing rose with white flowers, for example, Alaska or Opalia climbing, or combine it with easy-to-grow large-flowered clematis such as 'Etoile Violette' or 'Blue River'.
