Description
The 'Pirate' Climbing Rose will delight those who have fallen for the charm of the clustered-flowered rose 'Scentimental'. From summer to autumn, large, perfectly formed double flowers appear on its beautiful glossy dark green foliage, randomly striped with red-pink and pleasantly scented. This unusual variety is disease-resistant, and its variegated flowers are perfect for cutting.
The 'Pirate' Climbing Rose 'Croastrali' is a French creation by Croix, dating back to 2009. It is an elegant climbing rose with a beautiful vigour. It has a flexible habit and thorny stems, often reaching heights of over 2.5 metres (8 feet) and spreading 1 to 1.5 metres (3 to 5 feet) if trained. Regular pruning can easily keep it smaller, forming a beautiful bush of about 1.5 metres (5 feet) in all directions. Its shiny dark green foliage is not very susceptible to diseases and perfectly highlights the variegated colour of the flowers, which are all different. It blooms from June to October, abundantly if not lacking water. Its 12 cm (5in) flowers are solitary. They have the perfect turbinate shape of hybrid tea roses. Their medium-intensity fragrance is delightful.
This 'Pirate' rose allows for creating fantastic colourful displays throughout the summer. It requires very little maintenance, except for regular watering in summer during hot and prolonged droughts. Trained on a wall, arch, or fence, or even grown as a bush, it pairs well with the white flowers of roses like 'Iceberg' or 'Aimée Vibert', as well as the dark corollas of roses like 'Guinée', 'Roi de Siam', or 'Sénégal'. As part of the structure of English gardens, rose arches create lovely shelters where one can rest while connecting different parts of the garden. Mix or combine them with easy-to-grow large-flowered clematis like 'Madame Lecoultre', Montana 'Grandiflora', or 'Miss Bateman', whose white flowers temper its whimsical roses. Roses are good companions for phlox paniculata, delphiniums, foxgloves, catmints, and tall baby's breath.

Planting and care
Plant the 'Pirate' rose from November to March in ordinary, well-loosened and drained soil. Roses prefer clayey soils, rather heavy than light. In soil that is too sandy, too compact or too dry in summer, it is preferable to bury compost or well-rotted manure at the bottom of the planting hole. However, this rose fears waterlogged soils in winter. Plant it in a sunny location, at most in partial shade. Roses are demanding plants, a specific fertiliser application will be beneficial at the start of vegetation, and regularly throughout the flowering. To promote reblooming, regularly remove faded flowers. Floribunda rose varieties are more vigorous and floriferous than large-flowered rose varieties. Therefore, the stems should be pruned back by about a quarter of their length (from 4 to 6 bud from the base of the stem) at the end of winter. Always prune above an outward-facing bud so that the bush can fill out and the branches do not become tangled in the centre of the branches.
Roses may develop unsightly spots at the end of summer, but this is a natural occurrence and doesn't harm the rose's growth.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
