Very good quality, a large liana of two meters emerged from this young rosebush just in this first year. It will quickly cover the space allocated to it.

More information

This rambling rose is one of the most vigorous. Its exuberant and branching growth produces long thorny branches that can reach over 8 metres (26 feet). It disappears in summer under an avalanche of white wild roses with a yellow centre, which turn pink before fading. They release a delicious honey scent. Its vigour allows it to climb large trees or to hide an unsightly building. Not repeat flowering. It produces many small decorative fruits in autumn.

Description

Rosa Wedding Day is one of the most vigorous rambling roses. Its exuberant and branching growth produces long thorny branches that can reach over 8 metres (26 feet). In summer, it is covered with a cascade of white wild roses with yellow centres, which turn pink before fading. They emit a delicious honey fragrance. Its vigour allows it to climb large trees and to hide an unsightly structures.  Like most climbing roses, it does not rebloom. In autumn, it produces numerous small decorative fruits that last until the middle of winter.


This large thorny rose is a creation by Sir Fredrick Stern, dating back to 1950. It easily reaches a height of 8 to 10 metres (26 to 33 feet) with a spread of 4 metres (13 feet). Its long stems are thorny and covered with a very healthy, medium green foliage, which remains on the plant quite late in the season. The blooms of this rambling rose are single flowering in July. They appear as apricot-coloured buds on short shoots from the 2nd year. They open into 3 cm (1in) wide wild roses, gathered in bouquets along the stems. Flowers have an exceptional fragrance with hints of honey. Butter yellow when they bloom, they quickly fade to white, then take on shades of salmon pink. The small fruits that delight birds in the winter are actually fleshy false fruits called hips. They contain a large quantity of achenes with a single seed.

 

Wedding Day is an enchanting rose, with abundant flowering that cannot be forgotten. Like other rambling roses, it is invaluable for filling large spaces and giving a wild touch to the garden. It is an ideal companion for dead trees that it will cover fences, and ugly buildings or cabins to which it adds a wild charm. Trained on an arch, near the patio, it will create a romantic and fragrant feature. Since its flowering only lasts for a month, it can be paired with a large-flowered clematis whose summer blooming will take over until autumn.

Planting and care

The Wedding Day rose adapts to all types of soil, even heavy or sandy soil, as long as it is planted well and it doesn't lack water or nutrients. Plant it in well-prepared and well-drained ordinary soil, in a sunny or partially shaded location. Plant it in autumn, never when it freezes.

The branches that are 2 years old are the most floriferous. It is useful to reduce the stems that bloomed the previous year to 3 or 4 buds, or pruned to 15 cm (6in). The new strong stems can be trained and the old ones eliminated if necessary. Quite hardy, this rose withstands temperatures to -20°C (-4°F) and, if, despite everything, after a harsh winter, the branches freeze down to the ground, this rambling rose regrows from the base in spring. It may be useful to remove dead wood in winter, remove faded flowers if you don't want fruit formation. If necessary, in spring, after the risk of frost, a light pruning can be done. Rambling roses can also be allowed to grow freely if you have large spaces.

If you plant a rambling rose next to a living tree, the root system of the rose will compete with those of the already well-established tree. To control watering, a tip: plant the rose in a large container with a perforated bottom, at the base of the tree: the tree roots will not penetrate the container for at least a year. Remove the container after 1 year, for example by cutting one side, without disturbing the rose's root system. The rose will have had time to develop its root system deeply.

Roses are often spotted or unsightly at the end of summer, but this is not a problem for their development. These spots are not harmful to the rose, it is a natural phenomenon.
