The Climbing Rose 'Paul's Lemon Pillar' is distinguished by its vigour and large, perfectly shaped roses, typical of hybrid tea roses. They bloom abundantly, only once, in summer, in a cloud of fragrance. An ivory colour with hints of lemon around a green-tinted heart accompanies their waxy texture. This old rose is easy to grow in all regions, as it withstands cold, heat, and shade and thrives in poor soils.
Â
The rose 'Paul's Lemon Pillar' was obtained in 1915 by the English rose breeder William Paul, responsible for remarkable climbing varieties that have remained famous, like 'Paul's Himalayan Musk' or 'Mermaid'. Strictly speaking, 'Paul's Lemon Pillar' is not an old rose since its creation after 1867, but it is classified as such. This hybrid is part of the complex family of Rosa x Tea, the roses with large flowers. It can easily and rapidly reach a height of 4.5m (15ft) with a spread of 3m (10ft). Its long, thick, and vigorous stems are covered with thorns and have a broad foliage that is rather dark and matte green. Flowering occurs on new shoots that appear on 1-year-old branches. At blooming, this rose presents petals arranged in a turban shape, perfectly formed. Then the corolla blossoms into a rosette measuring 10cm (4in) in diameter, a stunning colour, a creamy white to ivory, slightly touched with very light lemon yellow and green at heart. The fragrance of the flowers is medium to strong, characteristic of tea roses. Flowering mainly occurs in June-July, sometimes slightly re-blooming on older plants at the end of summer. The flowers maintain their elegant shape and colour, even in rainy weather. The disease resistance of this variety is quite good.
Â
'Paul's Lemon Pillar' is particularly interesting for bringing a touch of lushness and fragrance to shaded areas of the garden. Sturdy, undemanding, and frugal, it will thrive in all areas with some care during planting. Its significant growth allows it to cover an unsightly wall in just a few years. It will also adorn a gate, a fence, a large trellis, or even a pergola. It can be paired with a large-flowered clematis or a perpetual rose like 'Mme Caroline Testout' or 'Gloire de Dijon', which will take over its sumptuous flowering at the end of summer.Â

Botanical data
The 'Paul's Lemon Pillar' rose is a versatile plant that can thrive in various soil types, including heavy and fertile or sandy and poor soil. However, it is essential to take care of the planting process, provide enough water at the beginning, and ensure that the plant receives sufficient nourishment. You can plant it in well-drained soil that has been adequately prepared in a sunny, partially shaded, or shaded location, especially in a warm climate. It is best to plant it in autumn and avoid planting during freezing weather.
If you plan to grow a climbing rose next to a living tree, be aware that the rose's root system may compete with the tree's already-established roots. To avoid this, you can plant the rose in a large container with a perforated bottom at the base of the tree. This way, the tree's root system will not penetrate the container for at least a year, giving the rose ample time to develop its root system. After one year, you can remove the container, for example, by cutting one side, without disturbing the rose's root system. This will make the rose more resilient.
The 'Paul's Lemon Pillar' rose is a hardy plant that can tolerate temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F).
Roses may appear stained or unsightly at the end of summer, but this does not affect their development. These marks are natural and pose no harm to the roses.

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).
