The first climbing English-style rose. The enchanting beauty and artistic coloring of this rose would surely have drawn the attention of the artist of the 19th century. Men like van Gogh, Renoir and Cezanne would have found this rose a subject for their paintings. The striking brilliance of the colorful fully double blooms evolve from a rich van Gogh yellow in the spring to a harvest pumpkin orange in the fall. It is enhanced by a strong old rose, myrrh perfume. Louise was reminded, as she observed this rose, of her experience in the National Art Gallery in London when she first saw The Sunflowers by van Gogh. It was the only van Gogh in a room full of Monet paintings. The Sunflowers stood out like sunshine, complimenting the subtle pastels of the Monet colors. This vigorous climber will stand up and shine in the garden. The rich, dark, green foliage with a slight blue cast provides a perfect blending of hues. Its ancestral color pallette includes lavender, scarlet crimson, buff and orange, tan to brown, yellow, pink, white, cream. Apricot, salmon, creamy pink, peach, coral, several shades of pink, orange red and gold. We feel that a rose with all the characteristics and beauty of 'The Impressionist' will be much sought after for inclusion in the garden of rose lovers. Hardy zones 5 - 10, repeat bloom, 100 petals.
This is just beautiful and it's an old one. Those multiple pedals would just POP against the color of that house.
