The Climbing Rose 'Cecile Brunner' is a vigorous mutation of the bush rose Bloomfield Abundance, a lovely variety created by the widow Ducher in 1880. But this old rose unfurls very strong branches, reaching 4 to 6 meters (13 to 20 feet), attacking old trees and uncertain fences. Its tiny, delicate double flowers are a pale, pearly pink, barely fleshy, scattered along its flexible branches. They sometimes nestle in its dense, disease-free foliage. It blooms abundantly in early summer, then more timidly in autumn. It prefers sunny situations or partial shade in hot climates.
This large rose, also known as Rosa x climbing 'Mignon' or Rosa x climbing 'Sweetheart Rose', is a vine obtained by Ducher in 1881. This excellent hybrid of Rosa chinensis, belonging to the family of Rosa (x) Polyantha, has a broad, imposing and flexible habit. It will reach a height of 4 to 6m (13 to 20ft) with a spread of 3 to 4 m (10 to 13ft), depending on the growing conditions. Its long stems are flexible and covered with dark green foliage, sparsely but perfectly healthy. The flowers of this climber, with a weakly perpetual flowering, form in June-July and then in September. They are borne on short shoots of the second year as soft pink buds. They open into double small cups, 2 to 3 cm (1in) in diameter, gathered in long clusters. Under the sun's effect, they fade to a whiter shade. Their fragrance is very light. The small fruits that delight birds in the winter are fleshy false fruits called hips.
'Cecile Brunner' is a rose with a feminine charm, delicate and wildly generous. Like other climbers, it is incomparable for filling large spaces and giving a slightly abandoned air, planted above overly strict flowerbeds. It is an ideal companion for dead trees that will revive uncertain fences and ugly buildings or sheds, which it gives a crazy charm. Trained on an arch near the terrace, it will create a poetic and fragrant passage. Since its flowering only lasts a month, it can be paired with a clematis with large flowers whose summer flowering will take over until autumn.

Botanical data
The Cecile Brunner rose is adaptable to any type of soil, as long as it is planted properly and provided with enough water and nutrients to establish itself. It should be planted in well-drained soil that has been worked well, and placed in a sunny or partially shaded location, avoiding south-facing walls. It is best to plant it in autumn and not during freezing temperatures.
The most floriferous branches of the rose are usually two years old. It is recommended to reduce the stems that bloomed the previous year to 3 or 4 buds, or pruned to 15 cm (6in). The new sturdy stems should be trained, and the old ones eliminated if necessary. This rose is quite hardy and can withstand temperatures as low as -25°C (-13°F). During winter, it may be necessary to remove dead wood and faded flowers, if fruit formation is not desired. In spring, after the risk of frost has passed, a light pruning can be done. Climbing roses can also be allowed to grow freely if there is ample space.
If you plant a climbing or rambling rose next to a living tree, the root system of the rose will compete with that of the already well-established tree. To control watering, here's a tip: plant the rose in a large container with a hole at the 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. By then, the rose will have had enough time to develop its root system deeply and will be more resistant.
Towards the end of summer, roses often develop spots or become unsightly, but this does not affect their development. These spots are a natural phenomenon and are not harmful to the rose.

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).

Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
