Rosa 'Sweet Siluetta' - Climbing Rose

The 'Siluetta Sweet' Rose is part of the Siluetta series, a line of roses developed in Germany by Kordes for their vigorous climbing habit, small size as they reach a maximum of 2m (7ft), and covered in a multitude of small flowers measuring 4cm (2in) in diameter. Very floriferous, their floribundity is matched only by their robustness and disease resistance. The sweetness of Sweet is expressed through its semi-double flowers, delicately scented, white with hints of soft pink. Small but fully open in corolla, they reveal their yellow stamens and generously bloom throughout the summer. They are gathered in clusters on perfectly healthy, satin green foliage.

'Siluetta Sweet' is a highly recurrent climbing rose obtained by Kordes and appeared on the European market in 2019. Very vigorous, it shows a flexible habit and thorny stems, reaching a height of 1.80m (6ft) with a spread of 70cm (28in). Its green and satin foliage is exceptionally healthy and perfectly highlights the beautiful clusters of small flowers measuring 4cm (2in) in a lavender pink. It blooms almost continuously, from May to September, abundantly, provided it does not lack water. Its flowers are semi-double, with a rather loose structure. Their fragrance, fresh and relatively light, can be classified as wild roses.

 The Siluetta roses are well suited to elegantly cover a fence, a pergola, or a trellis on a wall. They allow for the creation of modest yet sumptuous decorations throughout the summer period. They require very little maintenance, apart from regular watering in summer during periods of intense 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. Sweet also thrives in a pot on a small balcony, in partial shade and happily blends with the white and pink summer blooms.
